Nginx Reverse Proxy SSL Automation with Docker, Let’s Encrypt and Cron

In this video we show you how to build a Reverse Proxy and SSL automation with Nginx, Docker, Letsencrypt and Cron.
We start with some examples how you can setup our Reverse Proxy with just one command to pass requests to your upstream services on your host, your docker containers, your docker compose services or on other servers.
Then we create the Nginx Reverse Proxy Dockerfile for the Docker Image that you can run with Docker Run or Docker Compose.
It enables you to pass requests to your external servernames (like www.example.com) to your upstream services (like http://localhost:3000). It automatically provides secure access through the https protocol and renews the LetsEncypt SSL certificates regularily with cron.
