Automated Nginx reverse Proxy for Docker Webservices
This image attaches to the docker event queue and creates/removes proxy settings in the contained nginx.
Starting the container
The container is started as:
docker run --name auto_proxy -d -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -p 80:80 docker_nginx_auto_proxy
The socket must be handed in so the container can get the events.
How it works
Containers that should be proxied neet meta information in the environment variable PROXY_DATA available.
This variable must be of the following format:
PROXY_DATA=server_name:test.com,port:80
The following options are possible:
- server_name(required) the name of the virtual host
- port(optional, defaults to 80) the port on the target container
- ip(optional, defaults to listen on all IPs) the IP on which the proxy should listen.
- location(optional) if the proxied web application is not running on the /-path
