Enabling https with Nginx, Docker, and LetsEncrypt
Thursday, 22 November 2018
As more and more attention is paid to https (for example, with increasing levels of warning from Google Chrome on plain http sites), it becomes more and more important to ensure our websites are protected accordingly. Fortunately, Let’s Encrypt offers a free way to obtain certificates for our websites, and works simply with many standard web servers.
This article shows how we can configure Nginx to use Let’s Encrypt to provide certificates, and demonstrates how to automatically update the certificates when they expire. For flexibility, I have also put all the things in containers.
