Usage

Docker Run

To run it:

$ docker run -p 80:80 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock:ro casmacc/nginx_proxy

Then start any containers you want proxied with an env var VIRTUAL_HOST=subdomain.yourdomain.com

$ docker run -e VIRTUAL_HOST=sh1.myhost.com -p 3090:3090 casmacc/sinatra_helloworld
$ docker run -e VIRTUAL_HOST=sh2.myhost.com -p 3091:3090 casmacc/sinatra_helloworld

To run interactively:

$ docker run -p 80:80 -it -v /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock:ro casmacc/nginx_proxy bash

or against a running container:

$ # get list of container names
$ docker ps 
# # run bash on container
$ docker exec -it <container_name> bash

Docker Compose

See the file compose_basic and compose_ssl directories for examples...

Rebuilding the Image

docker build . -t casmacc/nginx_proxy
docker push casmacc/nginx_proxy

Proxy to Service on Docker Host

You can proxy from to a service on the host machine. The service could be a process running directly on the host, or on a Virtual Machine that listens to a port on the host.
