Nginx for Raspberry Pi 2

This is a Dockerfile to set up Nginx.

This container will run an nginx server with an automatically generated configuration that sets up reverse proxies to other containers.

Dynamically generating configs is possible by exporting the following environment variables:

Variable	Description
VIRTUAL_HOST	The host to reverse proxy
VIRTUAL_PORT	The port where the service is running

Usage

First, boot up the container you intend to reverse proxy. For example, an rpi-couchpotato container:

$ docker run \
  -e "VIRTUAL_HOST=couchpotato.myhost.com"
  -e "VIRTUAL_PORT=5050"
  -v /mnt/data:/data
  nunofgs/rpi-couchpotato

Next, start up the rpi-nginx-proxy container which will generate the services dynamically:

$ docker run \
  -p 80:80
  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock:ro
  nunofgs/rpi-nginx-proxy

Thanks

A special thank you to nginx-proxy which this project is based on.
