jamiely/nginx-ssl repository overview

⁠nginx-ssl

A container image that has SSL-enabled by default, useful for testing purposes.

• 80 - HTTP
• 443 - HTTPS, self-signed certificate

⁠Examples

Make nginx accessible on https://localhost:8443⁠ using a self-signed certificate.

docker run -p 8443:443 jamiely/nginx-ssl

Use your own certificates:

% ls ssl
server.pem.crt key.pem root_CA_cert_plus_intermediates.pem.crt
% docker run -v $(pwd)/ssl:/etc/nginx/ssl jamiely/nginx-ssl

Change the common name (CN) associated with the self-signed certificate.

docker run -e COMMON_NAME=mine.example.com \
  -p 8443:443 jamiely/nginx-ssl

Change the subject alternative name (SAN) associated with the self-signed certificate as well.

docker run -e COMMON_NAME=mine.example.com \
  -e SUBJECT_ALTERNATIVE_NAME=DNS:mine.example.com \
  -p 8443:443 jamiely/nginx-ssl
