Laravel container build
1 project | /r/laravel | 1 Apr 2022

It wouldn't be part of the Dockerfile but you could use the "start-container" pattern as seen here: https://github.com/shipping-docker/vessel/tree/master/docker-files/docker/app
What is your current local environment for Laravel?
6 projects | /r/laravel | 5 Jul 2021

Some projects still using Vessel but anything new I'm now using Sail with a serve script that figures out which command to run. It also has a few others it checks for like WordPress and Hugo and falls back to a php -S of the current directory

Can someone kindly suggest how to rate limit your node.js API when using nginx-proxy/nginx-proxy
1 project | /r/node | 27 Oct 2023

I have an express API that runs on EC2 and I am using nginx-proxy
Working on Multiple Web Projects with Docker Compose and Traefik
8 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 3 Oct 2023

If Traefik is not your thing Im happily using https://github.com/nginx-proxy/nginx-proxy and sslip.io for local docker compose development.
And then even plain nginx to proxy to non docker services...
(And ipv6 for really short urls. E.g. `example.com.--1.sslip.io` etc)
Build a Typescript Tool to modify npm automatically when using docker-containers
2 projects | /r/nginxproxymanager | 13 Jul 2023

I wanted to share with you an exciting new tool that simplifies the process of interacting with the NGINX Proxy Manager API. It's a TypeScript tool that generates API requests based on environment variables within a Docker container. This tool is heavy influenced by the https://github.com/nginx-proxy/nginx-proxy but it works with npm.
Docker Services question
2 projects | /r/docker | 5 Jul 2023

I use an automatically configuring reverse proxy - there's several to choose from, but the nginx-docker image is really nice, and comes with another image to do automatic SSL with certbot (if you wanted to host things externally).
Raspberry Pi 3b+ enough for proxy server
3 projects | /r/raspberryDIY | 25 Jun 2023

Docker runs on the 3B+ so you could use this [Github] or the one I have deployed here [NGINX Proxy Manager site] amongst others.

Docker compose or kubernetes for single node cluster?
1 project | /r/selfhosted | 27 May 2023

docker compose + wildcard dns + reverse proxy that covers all widecard subdomains + https://github.com/nginx-proxy/nginx-proxy (not to be confused with nginx itself) then setup a container for each app and set a subdomain for it, you can add ssl if you have a public domain or use self signed certs (but you need to distribute it to all machines and devices)
Beginner questions about deploying node.js app on Beanstalk

setting up letsencrypt with nginx-proxy and acme-companion
Using https with docker - managing TLS certificates from Lets Encrypt?
1 project | /r/docker | 13 May 2023

We use the nginx-proxy docker image. Auto-configuring reverse proxy with support for certbot. Never been easier - just put your domain and certbot details in your container env, and it does the rest.
Am I headed in the right direction to setup SSL for certbot inside docker with nginx?
1 project | /r/docker | 28 Apr 2023

I just use the nginx-proxy image, makes it all super easy, auto-configuring, and all domain/cert information is stored against the project rather than the proxy.
