Have a folder somewhere in the docker host (ex: /home/user/ssl) with the following files:

• certificate.crt : containing the certificate (+ chain if wanted)
• private.key : containing the server private key

Run the container mounting the volume like so:

docker run -d --restart=always -e UPSTREAM=mybackend:8080 --link mybackend -p 443:443 -v /home/user/ssl:/etc/nginx/ssl --name ssl-offloader jmserra/ssl-offloader
