This repository exists solely to document the process of using NGINX and Let's Encrypt together in a Docker container.

tl;dr

1. Checkout or download this repository.
2. Configure the Dehydrated client:
   • Update mount/etc/dehydrated/domains.txt for your domains.
   • Update mount/etc/dehydrated/dehydrated.hooks.sh to perform any desired actions.
   • Update mount/etc/dehydrated/config with your email address and any other desired settings.
3. Configure NGINX as needed (beyond the scope of this example).
4. Build the Docker image:

docker build -t nginx-dehydrated -f ./src/Dockerfile .

4. Create and run a Docker container:

docker run \
    -d \
    --name revprox \
    --restart unless-stopped \
    -p 80:80 \
    -p 443:443 \
    -e PROVIDER=cloudflare \
    -e [email protected] \
    -e LEXICON_CLOUDFLARE_TOKEN=1231231231321321321321321321321321 \
    -v /host/path/to/mount/etc/dehydrated:/etc/dehydrated \
    -v /host/path/to/mount/etc/nginx/conf.d:/etc/nginx/conf.d \
