⁠docker-nginx_letsencrypt

Nginx with Let's Encrypt client (certbot) and crond for auto renew.

⁠Usage

⁠Launch server

Set HEALTHCHECK_URL (You will host that in this container) in docker-compose.yml

And just run

docker-compose up -d

⁠Get new certificate (or add domains)

Run

docker-compose exec nginx sh

Then you will get into container's prompt.

And run

certbot certonly --webroot -w /var/www/html -d YOUR_DOMAIN

to get certificate.

⁠Renew certificate (Auto!!)

Renew job will be automatically run by crond on every Monday 0:00.

So you don't need to run manually.

Renew job will reload nginx to apply new certificates.

If it fails renewing, you can run certbot renew to investigate.
