This is a container you can drop in a docker network that will proxy HTTPS traffic to your other containers.

The proxy container will need aliases to tell it which domain to respond to and will proxy the request to the same address prefixed by web.

Sometimes you want to test including the SSL stack. Browsers will show you warnings when accessing insecure url and that can cause overlooking some bugs related to https in your applications.

You need a valid wildcard certificate for the domain you will use, trusted by official authorities

*.yourdomain.example

Place your certificates in a folder, and call them

ssl.crt
ssl.key

on docker run use -v "<your folder>:/etc/nginx/certs/" in docker-compose use

    volumes:
      - <your folder>:/etc/nginx/certs/

DO NOT PUBLISH AN IMAGE TO DOCKERHUB CONTAINING YOUR OWN CERTIFICATES

FROM lindycoder/docker-instant-https-proxy:latest
ADD <your folder>/ /etc/nginx/certs/

Set up a network in your docker-compose.yml

networks:
  my-network: {}

Add the proxy with the host it should respond to (replace example.org by your domain for which your certificate was issued)

services:
  docker-instant-https-proxy:
    image: lindycoder/docker-instant-https-proxy:latest
    networks:
      my-network:
        aliases:
        - my-app.example.org

And add an alias to your app so that it answers to the same host prefixed by .web

services:
  my-app:
    networks:
      my-network:
        aliases:
        - web.my-app.example.org

Add a socks5 proxy to your network, such as serjs/go-socks5-proxy

  socks5-proxy:
    image: serjs/go-socks5-proxy
    networks:
      my-network:
    ports:
      - "1080:1080"

Then you set up your browser to use localhost:1080 as a socks5 proxy, make sure to enable DNS over the proxy, here's the Firefox settings for reference:

Then just access https://my-app.example.org

curl -x socks5h://localhost:1080 https://my-app.example.org

Requires pip install "requests[socks]" to work

import os
import requests

os.environ["HTTPS_PROXY"] = "socks5h://localhost:1080"

requests.get("https://my-app.example.org")

/ Add a port to the proxy

services:
  docker-instant-https-proxy:
    ports:
      - "443:443"

Update your /etc/hosts and add

127.0.0.1 my-app.example.org

Then access https://my-app.example.org by all means you usually do :)

Tests uses a self signed certificate so it is tested using --insecure.

./test.sh

Requires only docker installed.
