Boilerplate configuration for nginx and certbot with docker-compose

Reverse Proxy for Orchestrator Sessions

Forked from https://github.com/wmnnd/nginx-certbot

Usually, we use GCP's Load Balancer to set up SSL and domains for our servers. Unfortunately, GCP doesn't allow wildcard domains and we need URLs like *.o.usedevbook.com for our Orchestrator sessions for running templates.

We are using this nginx + Let's Encrypt boilerplate to deploy our own reverse proxy for the Orchestrator server.

Installation

1. Install docker-compose.

2. Clone this repository: git clone https://github.com/wmnnd/nginx-certbot.git .

3. Run the init script:

🚨 IMPORTANT 🚨: Make sure to change the variable staging to 1 in the init-letsencrypt.sh if you aren't in the production environment

./init-letsencrypt.sh

4. Run the server:

docker-compose up

Deployment

There isn't a good automated way to deploy this. The current way of deployment is fully manual:

1. SSH to GCE instance
2. Clone repo
3. Run sudo ./init-letsencrypt.sh (don't generate new SSL certs if not needed)
4. Start proxy in the background sudo docker-compose up &
