Container can be started with empty data directory. After using docker exec the commands from the NOTES file can be used to create a first cert and additional certs after that.

This image translates between plain http and https using haproxy.

The docker_ssl_endpoint Container listens on port 443 (expose this port for public) availability. All secure connections coming in on this port are handled using the certificates form the cert data volume and passed on to the target container's port 80.
Starting the container
docker run --name ssl_endpoint -v $PATH_TO_CERT_DATA:/data -p $IP:443:443 d --link nginx:target docker_ssl_endpoint
