integralik/nginx repository overview

Usage:

docker run -d
--name d-nginx
-p 80:80 -p 443:443
--mount type=bind,source=/var/www,target=/var/www
--mount type=bind,source=/etc/letsencrypt,target=/etc/letsencrypt
--mount type=volume,source=nginx-settings,target=/etc/nginx
integralik/nginx

Now nginx can listen to ports 80 and 443, use folder /var/www for files and save settings from interior /etc/nginx in volume nginx-settings.

Also you can send the commands straight by name: docker exec -it d-nginx service nginx status

By default nginx listens to all domains on port 80 and does not listen on port 443. All of them have /var/www/html as root (as mentioned in /etc/nginx/sites-available/default). There is a command "addhostn domain.xyz" which adds such host and restarts the server. Do it after you received the ssl-certificate with certbot. The host listens to the domain.xyz on port 80 and 443. Port 80 (only for this domain) is redirected to 443. The certificate is already installed.
