This is a very simple authenticating nginx reverse proxy. As written it only supports setting a single user/password.

To build:

docker build -t proxy .

To run:

• specify the environment either by creating a file with contents like so:

SERVER_NAME=my-server-name
UPSTREAM_PORT=1234
USER=my-user
PASSWORD=my-great-password

• save that file somewhere (like .env). Then:

docker run --link web:upstream --detach=true --env-file=./.env --publish=80:80 --name proxy proxy

• or by specifying the variables as part of the docker run command:

docker run --link web:upstream -e SERVER_NAME=foo -e ... --detach=true --publish=80:80 --name proxy proxy
