Ey men

thanks for your tutorial. Was useful to me cause I want to test Wordpress API Rest locally with some Python code and I think HTTPS is mandatory to that scenario so kudos on that.

I have to debug just a little cause I have 502 from proxy but I was able to fix it.

Regards

working amazingly well, thanks

In case someone is having error during docker-compose up after configuring nginx, try to open the nginx.conf and add } (closing curly braces) at the end.

Also, let the ssl_certificate and ssl_certificate_key path in nginx.conf file as it is. It is actually path of nginx.conf inside the docker. You just need to put the .crt and .key inside certs folder

Yeah... I'm also install OS on my machine before installing Docker, and all of these are installed on top of hardware manufacturer's BIOS, installed on motherboard chips )). But I really hope you understand the difference ;)

Thank you - great article.

Good to see Alpine being used.

Will definitely reread the SSL section.

Hi

Thank you for this. I did it and it works but the static files are being served in the url of the docker-service. E.g:

wordpress/wp-admin/css/install.min...

Which of course is not reachable since port 80 is assigned to the proxy service.

Did you have this problem? How can it be fixed?

Can you explain the proxy_pass line? I'm a little confused about what the upstream is supposed to be there for non-Wordpress apps.

Figured it out. Looks like it just needs to be the name of the app service.

Have you checked the connection? Have you checked the proxy and the firewall? Have you checked if hello.test is equipped with all it needs?
Try to ask the same on stackoverflow to see why your question is not detailed enough to be a good question there (e.g. you haven't provided the code and full details, so that others can reproduce your problem).
