Running NGINX and CertBot Containers on the Same Host

The Problem

A lot of people run into the problem of running Let's Encrypt's CertBot Tool and an NGINX on the same container host. A big part of this has to do with CertBot needing either port 80 or 443 open for the tool to work as intended. This tends to conflict with NGINX as most people usually use port 80 (HTTP) or 443 (HTTPS) for their reverse proxy. Section 1 outlines how to configure NGINX to get this to work, and Section 2 is the Docker command to run CertBot.

1. NGINX Configuration

I use Docker Compose (docker-compose) for my NGINX server. My docker-compose.yml file looks something like this:

Shortcut — Action

CTRL + A — Move to the beginning of the line
CTRL + E — Move to the end of the line
CTRL + [left arrow] — Move one word backward (on some systems this is ALT + B)
CTRL + [right arrow] — Move one word forward (on some systems this is ALT + F)
CTRL + U — (bash) Clear the characters on the line before the current cursor position
CTRL + U —(zsh) If you're using the zsh, this will clear the entire line
CTRL + K — Clear the characters on the line after the current cursor position
ESC + [backspace] — Delete the word in front of the cursor
