problems when setting up an application in a different docker-compose.yml

[Ing Erl]

Hi,

I am having problem when setting up the service as-is, it is not finding my wordpress instance running on a specifik URL (i.e example.org) / not redirecting to the URL.
The setting is this.

0. running the init-letsencrypt.sh after editing it.
1. home/user/repository/proxy-docker/docker-compose.yml

version: '3.7'

services:
  nginx:
    image: nginx:1.15-alpine
    container_name: nginx_1
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "80:80"
      - "443:443"
    volumes:
      - ./data/nginx:/etc/nginx/conf.d
      - ./data/certbot/conf:/etc/letsencrypt
      - ./data/certbot/www:/var/www/certbot
    command: "/bin/sh -c 'while :; do sleep 6h & wait $${!}; nginx -s reload; done & nginx -g \"daemon off;\"'"
  certbot:
    image: certbot/certbot
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - ./data/certbot/conf:/etc/letsencrypt
      - ./data/certbot/www:/var/www/certbot
    entrypoint: "/bin/sh -c 'trap exit TERM; while :; do certbot renew; sleep 12h & wait $${!}; done;'"

2. spinning up this docker-compose up -dgives me the network -> proxy-docker_default
3. Running wordpress from this site -> https://github.com/chrisbmatthews/wordpress-docker-compose.git
4. home/user/repository/wordpress-docker-compose/docker-compose.yml

version: '3.7'

services:
  wp:
    image: wordpress:5.8.1-apache
    container_name: wordpress
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - ./config/php.conf.ini:/usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/conf.ini
      - ./wp-app:/var/www/html
    environment:
      VIRTUAL_HOST: example.org #same as in the init-letsencrypt
      WORDPRESS_DB_HOST: db
      WORDPRESS_DB_NAME: "${DB_NAME}"
      WORDPRESS_DB_USER: root
      WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD: "${DB_ROOT_PASSWORD}"
    depends_on:
      - db

  db:
    image: mysql:5.7
    ports:
      - ${IP}:3306:3306
    command: [
        '--default_authentication_plugin=mysql_native_password',
        '--character-set-server=utf8mb4',
        '--collation-server=utf8mb4_unicode_ci'
    ]
    volumes:
      - ./wp-data:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d
      - db_data:/var/lib/mysql
    environment:
      MYSQL_DATABASE: "${DB_NAME}"
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: "${DB_ROOT_PASSWORD}"

volumes:
  db_data:

networks:
  default:
    external:
       name: proxy-docker_default # attaching to the network that nginx/certbot is running

5. inspecting the -network, docker inspect proxy-docker_default , gives (a subset of the output)

    }

6. accessing wordpress by browser gives

The page isn’t redirecting properly
This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.

Looking at the logs for nginx, I can see an incoming request but I cannot se anything in the wordpress log ....

---

Replacing the nginx/certbot proxy with the one below (no app.conf) then the forwarding from nginx to wordpress works (VIRTUAL_HOST: example.org )

version: '3.7'

services:

  nginx-jwilder:
    image: jwilder/nginx-proxy
    ports:
      - "80:80"
      - "443:443"
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock:ro

Could I make this work by editing the data/nginx/app.conf adding som config ?

Best, i

can you show the nginx configuration file.
