This stack enables you to quickly bring other containers online and expose them to the web using via https by setting just three environment variables.
To do this, this compose file sets up an nginx reverse-proxy and a certbot integration using nginx-proxy and acme-companion, as well as a portainer-ce instance for management.
For further information, please check out the links above
You need to specify following environment variables to bring the stack online:
LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL
PORTAINER_URL
These can be set in the .env file. For example:
[email protected]
PORTAINER_URL=portainer.example.com
Navigate into the directory containing the docker-compose.yaml and run
docker compose up -d
Connecting other containers to the web using this stack is as simple as setting following environment variables for that container:
VIRTUAL_HOST - specifies the URL for that container
VIRTUAL_PORT - specifies the port of the container to which the URL will be bound (per default 80 is used)
LETSECNRYPT_HOST - specifies the URL for that container via HTTPS (typically the same as VIRTUAL_HOST)
For example:
VIRTUAL_HOST=wiki.example.com
VIRTUAL_PORT=8080
LETSENCRYPT_HOST=wiki.example.com
Do note, that this stack uses a network called net. All other containers that are to be exposed using this stack need to be in the network net as well.
