Introduction

Apache web server like proxy to Docker.

Enable modules :

• proxy
• proxy_http
• ssl

Deploy

• First, create an data container to storage your web site configuration

docker create --name proxy-data --volume /opt/proxy-conf/:/opt/proxy-conf busybox /bin/true

• Then, create proxy container with link data volume. By default, the data volume is mountend in /opt/proxy-conf. All configurations of this website in this directory will be activated

docker run --name apache-proxy --volumes-from proxy-data -p 80:80 -d diouxx/apache-proxy

Recommended

I recommanded to link also web site container. It's just my advice

docker run --name apache-proxy --link sitecontainer:sitecontainer --volumes-from proxy-data -p 80:80 -d diouxx/apache-proxy

And an exemple proxy configurations

<VirtualHost *:80>
	ServerName yoursite.domain.com

	ProxyPass "/" "http://sitecontainer/"
	ProxyPassReverse "/" "http://sitecontainer/"

</VirtualHost>

SSL Support

To use Apache proxy with HTTPS :

• First, configure your virtual host with SSL support

If you can use together HTTP and HTTPS port

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName yoursite.domain.com

        ProxyPass "/" "http://sitecontainer/"
        ProxyPassReverse "/" "http://sitecontainer/"

</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:443>
        ServerName yoursite.domain.com

        SSLEngine On

        SSLCertificateFile /opt/ssl/yourcertificate.crt
        SSLCertificateKeyFile /opt/ssl/yourcertificate.key

        SSLProxyEngine on

        <Location />
                ProxyPass / http://sitecontainer/
                ProxyPassReverse / http://sitecontainer/
        </Location>

</VirtualHost>

If you can user only HTTPS port and force redirect

<VirtualHost *:80>
	ServerName yoursite.domain.com

	Redirect permanent / https://yoursite.domain.com/
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:443>
        ServerName yoursite.domain.com
	
        SSLEngine On

        SSLCertificateFile /opt/ssl/yourcertificate.crt
        SSLCertificateKeyFile /opt/ssl/yourcertificate.key

	SSLProxyEngine on
	
	<Location />
        	ProxyPass http://sitecontainer/
        	ProxyPassReverse http://sitecontainer/
	</Location>

</VirtualHost>

• Then, link your SSL certificate folder by volumes. Example :

docker run --name apache-proxy --volumes yourssldirectory:/opt/ssl/ --volumes-from proxy-data -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -d diouxx/apache-proxy
