A boilerplate configuration combining nginx and certbot in a docker-compose setup, with an init script that fetches and renews Let's Encrypt certificates. It is designed for quickly setting up nginx as a TLS-terminating reverse proxy for applications.

Use cases

• set up nginx with let's encrypt certificates using docker-compose
• automate ssl certificate issuance and renewal for my domains
• configure nginx as a reverse proxy with https
• quickly get a dockerized web server running with tls
• bootstrap a production nginx config with certbot

When to choose

• you want a minimal, ready-made nginx + Let's Encrypt docker-compose setup
• you need a simple reverse proxy with automatic certificate renewal
• you're following a step-by-step guide to self-host an app behind nginx

When to avoid

• you need a full production-grade reverse proxy with advanced load balancing or observability
• you use a different web server like Caddy or Traefik with built-in ACME support
• you need Kubernetes-native certificate management (use cert-manager instead)
