Lighttpd Docker Reverse Proxy

Make Lighttpd a reverse proxy for connecting to each web server on many Docker containers. SSL uses a self-signed certificate and is auto-generated at once. Main branch is for Reverse proxy, for other variant see branch menu.

Build

1. Clone or download this repository.
2. Configure your web service in the etc/service-enabled directory as you want.
3. Build with docker compose

docker compose up -d --build

4. Check the container .

docker compose ps

Self-Signed Certificate Configuration

You can customize the self-signed certificate by passing build arguments during the Docker image build process.

Example of building with custom certificate details:

docker build \
  --build-arg COUNTRY="US" \
  --build-arg STATE="California" \
  --build-arg LOCALITY="San Francisco" \
  --build-arg ORGANIZATION="MyCompany" \
  --build-arg COMMON_NAME="example.com" \
  -t lighttpd-docker .

Or, if using docker compose, you can specify build arguments in your docker-compose.yml file:

version: "3.8"
services:
  lighttpd:
    build:
      context: .
      args:
        COUNTRY: "US"
        STATE: "California"
        LOCALITY: "San Francisco"
        ORGANIZATION: "MyCompany"
        COMMON_NAME: "example.com"
    ports:
      - "80:80"
      - "443:443"

Remember to rebuild your Docker image after changing these arguments.
