Nginx Ember proxy docker

Docker for hosting Ember apps in Nginx over HTTPS with a backend API. All requests starting with /api/ are passed to the backend.

Running your Ember app

docker run --name my-ember-app \
    --link my-backend-container:backend \
    -v /path/to/ember/dist:/usr/share/nginx/html:ro \
    -d erikap/nginx-ember-proxy

Running on HTTPS

docker run --name my-ember-app \
    --link my-backend-container:backend \
    -v /path/to/ember/dist:/usr/share/nginx/html:ro \
    -v /path/to/certificates:/certs \
    -d erikap/nginx-ember-proxy:https

The certificates folder (/path/to/certificates) must contain the following files:

• app.csr
• app.crt
• app.key
• dhparam.pem

Creating a self-signed certificate

Execute the following commands to create a self-signed certificate:

openssl genrsa -out app.key 2048
openssl req -new -key app.key -out app.csr
openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in app.csr -signkey app.key -out app.crt
openssl dhparam -out dhparam.pem 2048
