identt/configurable-nginx repository overview

⁠How to use

1. Create new file: /etc/nginx/nginx.env. This is used to define the variables you want to use in your configs, and also their default values. Example:

SERVER_NAME=example.org
PORT=80

1. Use the defined variables in your configuration files (nginx.conf, proxy.conf and/or sites-enabled), marking them with '%' at the beginning and end. Example:

server {
    listen %PORT%;
    server_name %SERVER_NAME%;
}

1. To override the defaults, set environment variables in your container just like you'd normally do. Example with docker-compose:

version: "2"
services:
  nginx:
    build: .
    environment:
      - PORT=443
