pmg-docker-ngnix-proxy

Default nginx-proxy container for mapping hostname to correct Docker application container.

Use

1. On your host (web) server, clone pmg-docker-ngnix-proxy into your web root.

2. Navigate into pmg-docker-nginx-proxy.

3. Run docker network create front.

4. Run docker-compose up -d --build.

5. Following the nginx-proxy example docker-compose.yml, add the code to your application's Docker Compose file.

6. Define the ports to avoid collisions with other applications, making sure to map to the default port. e.g.

   services:
     web:
       image: web
       environment:
         VIRTUAL_HOST: mysite.com
       ports:
         - "8080:80"

7. Define the following network your application's Docker Compose file (at the bottom of the file, outside of services):

   networks:
     front:
       external: true

8. Use the front network on the desired services by adding:

```yml
networks:
  - front
```

e.g.

```yml
services:
  web:
    image: web
    container_name: web
    networks:
      - front
```

7. Commit, push, and pull on your host (web) server.
8. Run docker-compose up -d --build or a custom build script.

Setting Up Basic Authentication Support

To secure your virtual host, create a htpasswd file named as its equivalent VIRTUAL_HOST variable in config/htpasswd.

For example, if you have VIRTUAL_HOST: more.cool.com, create a htpasswd file at config/htpasswd/more.cool.com.
