I'm trying to set-up a simple reverse proxy using nginx and a Ruby application, but I also want to have it set-up inside of Docker containers.
I've reached the point where I can run the Ruby application from inside Docker and access the running service from the host machine (my Mac OS X using Boot2Docker). But I'm now stuck trying to implement the nginx part, as I've not used it before and it seems the majority of articles/tutorials/examples on the topic use Rails (rather than a simple Sinatra/Rack application) and also utilises sockets - which I've no need of as far as I'm aware.
I'm also using Docker Compose.
The complete directory structure looks like:
├── docker-compose.yml
├── front-end
│ ├── Dockerfile
│ ├── Gemfile
│ ├── app.rb
│ ├── config.ru
├── proxy
│ ├── Dockerfile
│ ├── nginx.conf
│ └── public
│ ├── 500.html
│ ├── index.html
To see the contents of these files then refer to the following gist:
https://gist.github.com/Integralist/5cfd5c884b0f2c0c5d11
But when I run docker-compose up -d
I get the following error:
Creating clientcertauth_frontend_1...
Pulling image ./front-end:latest...

docker.errors.DockerException: HTTPS endpoint unresponsive and insecure mode isn't enabled.
I'm not sure what's causing this error (a bit of googling returns https://github.com/docker/compose/issues/563 but it seems a separate issue as far as I can tell?).
I'm also not entirely sure the nginx.conf
is set-up correctly if I could get past this error. The config for nginx looks like it should do a reverse proxy properly (e.g. using frontend
as the upstream app server, which should then resolve to the docker ip address for the front-end container -> as you'll see I've linked the two containers together so I'd expect the front-end app to be set as an alias inside /etc/hosts
of the proxy container).
Does any one know what I might be missing?
Thanks.
