docker-server

docker proxy configurations for server

Overview

Simple Docker setup for hosting multiple project on one server using docker. It uses jwilder/nginx-proxy with letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion to proxy individual applications to subdomains. There are some basic Make command to generate new application directories.

How it works

• The primary concept is only using docker images. There're plenty of options for bundling and distributing docker images now a days. one example if GitHubs Package registry.
• Docker Compose allows use to load .env configurations. a big part of how this is set up is around managing configurations on .env and leaving the docker-compose for architectural definition.

What's included

Docker:

• Nginx proxy for subdomain with auto SSL
• Shared MySql container: to use in sub application, you must set the host to mysql. If. you change the name of the mysql service in docker-compose your sub application need to match that name
• mailhog server: Mailhog is a email service for capturing outgoing emails.

Getting Started

• Clone the repo into your server
• Create a .env file and set env variables

cp .env.example .env
