nginx-manager

a simple, easy-to-use tool for managing nginx vhosts.

installation

git clone https://github.com/bbangg/nginx-manager.git
cd nginx-manager

chmod +x ./nginx-manager.sh && chmod +x ./recreate.sh

commands

• Create new domain:

./nginx-manager.sh create <domain>

• Enable domain (creates symlink to sites-enabled)

./nginx-manager.sh enable <domain>

• Disable domain (deletes symlink from sites-enabled)

./nginx-manager.sh disable <domain>

• Generates SSL for domain(s) (use example.org www.example.org to generate SSL for both)

Set staging to 1 if you're testing your setup to avoid hitting request limits

./nginx-manager.sh ssl <mail> <staging> <domains>

• Reload nginx service

./nginx-manager.sh reload

configuration

• Use same network with other containers

services:
  example_service:
    ...
    networks:
    - nginx_manager_network

networks:
  nginx_manager_network:
    external: true
    driver: bridge

• Handle incoming requests on running containers

location @{label_here} {
    proxy_pass          http://{container_name}:{container_port};

    # optional
    proxy_set_header    Host                        $http_host;
    proxy_set_header    X-Real-IP                   $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header    X-Forwarded-For             $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}

location / {
    try_files $uri @{label_here};
}
