Self-Signed Certificates for nginx-proxy

mkcert for nginx-proxy

mkcert-for-nginx-proxy is a lightweight companion container for the jwilder/nginx-proxy. It's heavily inspired by JrCs/letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion and it allows the creation/renewal of self-signed certificate with a root certificate authority.

Features

• Automatic creation/renewal of Self-Signed Certificates using original nginx-proxy container
• Support creation of Multi-Domain (SAN) certificates
• Work with all versions of docker

Usage

Here is an example of a docker-compose file that should work with jwilder/nginx-proxy:

version: '3.2'

networks:
  proxy:
    driver: bridge

services:

  mkcert:
    image: aegypius/mkcert-for-nginx-proxy
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
    - ssl-certs:/app/certs:rw
    - ~/.mozilla/firefox:/root/.mozilla/firefox:rw
    - ~/.pki/nssdb:/root/.pki/nssdb:rw
    - ${CA_STORE:-/usr/local/share/ca-certificates}:/usr/local/share/ca-certificates
    - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro

  proxy:
    image: jwilder/nginx-proxy
    labels:
      com.github.aegypius.mkcert-for-nginx-proxy.nginx_proxy: ''
    networks:
      proxy: {}
    ports:
    - published: 80
      target: 80
    - published: 443
      target: 443
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
    - ssl-certs:/etc/nginx/certs:ro
    - /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock:ro

volumes:
  ssl-certs: {}

You need to set a CA_STORE environment variable according to your distribution :

For Ubuntu / Debian:

docker-compose up
sudo update-ca-certificates

For Arch / Manjaro:

echo 'CA_STORE=/etc/ca-certificates/trust-source/anchors' >> .env
docker-compose up
sudo trust extract-compat

For Fedora / RHEL / CentOS:

echo 'CA_STORE=/etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors' >> .env
docker-compose up
sudo update-ca-trust extract

For Gentoo:

echo 'CA_STORE=/etc/ssl/certs' >> .env
docker-compose up
sudo update-ca-certificates

Restart your browsers !
