Initially you have to init the certbot and get the certificate manually.

# Directories used:
/var/www 
/var/www/certbot # handshake sites from certbot
/etc/letsencrypt # certificates are stored here

# Initialize Certbot:
docker run --rm -ti \
  -v /var/www:/var/www \
  -v /etc/letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt \
certbot/certbot certonly --webroot -w /var/www/certbot -d <yor-domain-name> --email your.email@something.com 

The letsencrypt and the www directory must be mounted on both containers. Certbot will check the certificates every 12h and nginx must reload the configuration periodically.

  nginx:
    image: nginx:1.17.8
    ports:
      - 80:80
      - 443:443
    volumes:
      - /var/www:/var/www
      - /etc/nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
      - /etc/letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt
    command: "/bin/sh -c 'while :; do sleep 6h & wait $${!}; nginx -s reload; done & nginx -g \"daemon off;\"'"

  certbot:
    image: certbot/certbot
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - /var/www:/var/www
      - /etc/letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt
    entrypoint: "/bin/sh -c 'trap exit TERM; while :; do certbot renew; sleep 12h & wait $${1}; done;'"

Nginx must be configured to publish the certbots well-known sites for the handshake and your sites must be configured to use the certificates from letsencrypt.

    server {
        listen 80;
        server_name <your-domain-name>;
        server_tokens off;
        location /.well-known/acme-challenge/ {
            root /var/www/certbot;
        }

        location / {
            return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
        }
    }

    server {
        listen 443 ssl;
        server_name vcm.winccoa.at;

        ssl_certificate     /etc/letsencrypt/live/<your-domain-name>/fullchain.pem;
        ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/<your-domain-name>/privkey.pem;

        root /var/www;
        index index.html;

        location / {
            try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
        }

If you have multiple services running on Docker with different ports, you have to open ports in your firewall and you have to access the services via different ports in the browser. To have one access port (port 80 or 443) you can use a reverse proxy.

In our case we used NGINX to redirect the access to Kibana (Elasticsearch Dashboard Tool) and PgAdmin4 (PostgreSQL Admin Tool) so that we can access both services on the same port (80) in the browser with different base paths: http://localhost/kibana and http://localhost/pgadmin.

Startup the docker containers

docker-compuse up -d

Then you can access the logs via Kibana in the browser: http://localhost:5601/
