dockup 0.0.13

Publish multiple docker containers using nginx

Dockup is a command line interface tool which allows to easily publish applications at a given path through docker containers and nginx.

A Dockup package is a compressed file containing:

• the content you want to publish: python script, HTML file, ...

• the dockup.yml configuration file which contains the following info

  • name of the package, must be the same name as the archive containing it

  • path at which the package will be accessible. For example /app1 for website.com/app1

  • type of the package. For example, website, flet application

• optional: Dockerfile and nginx.conf in case customization is needed

When you publish a Dockup package, the tool will do the following things automatically for you:

• Docker compose stop
• Extract the package archive in the Dockup app folder
• If necessary, build the nginx configuration
• If necessary, build the docker file
• Rebuild the docker compose file
• Dockup compose build and up

The nginx reverse proxy used by Dockup is also installed as Dockup package. This makes it convenient to configure and update the reverse proxy, for example to configure HTTPS on your server.
