Nginx with automatic let's encrypt (docker image)

NGINX-LE - Nginx web and proxy with automatic let's encrypt

Simple nginx image (alpine based) with integrated Let's Encrypt support.

How to use

• get docker-compose.yml and change things

  • set LETSENCRYPT=true if you want automatic certificate install and renewal
  • LE_EMAIL should be your email and LE_FQDN for domain
  • alternatively set LETSENCRYPT to false and pass your own cert and key in SSL_CERT and SSL_KEY

• use provided etc/service-example.conf to make your own. Keep both ssl_certificate SSL_CERT; and ssl_certificate_key SSL_KEY;

• pull image - docker-compose pull

• if you don't want pre-built image, make you own. docker-compose build will do it

• start it docker-compose up

Some implementation details

• image uses alpine's certbot package.
• script/entrypoint.sh requests LE certificate and will refresh every 60 days.
• script/le.sh gets SSL
• nginx-le on docker-hub

Alternatives

• Caddy supports Let's Encrypt directly.
• leproxy small and nice (stand alone) https reverse proxy with automatic Letsencrypt
• bunch of others
