Host Multiple Website's on Single Virtual Server

Run WordPress inside a docker container using docker-compose on DigitalOcean Platform.

This video is all about an introduction to a course on how to run an instance on DigitalOcean that is configured correctly to run docker and docker-compose.  Then WordPress is installed via docker-compose.

Run WordPress inside docker container using docker-compose on DigitalOcean Platform.

This video shows how to install wordpress inside docker container using docker-compose.

Point your domain name to a DigitalOcean.

This video shows you how to connect your domain name to a DigitalOcean Droplet.  In this case, we are pointing to the Wordpress instance running on docker that was set up in the last video.

This video shows you how to set up an NGINX Reverse Proxy to route traffic to anything running in docker.  In this case, it'll route to the Wordpress instance we have been building over the past few videos.

We need to do this before we can secure our domain name with HTTPS using lets encrypt

Code snippet for nginx configuration:

server {

root /var/www/html;

        listen 80;

        listen [::]:80;

        server_name yourdomain.com www.yourdomain.com;

        location / {

            proxy_pass         http://127.0.0.1:8080;

            proxy_redirect     off;

            proxy_set_header   Host $host;

            proxy_set_header   X-Real-IP $remote_addr;

            proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

            proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-Host $server_name;

            proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;

        }

}

Finally set up HTTPS/SSL Certificate to access on our Wordpress Docker instance running on Droplet.

Although this shows setup for Wordpress, this will work for anything running via an NGINX reverse proxy.  As usual, everything demonstrated in this video is free; in this case the SSL/TLS certificates are provided by LetsEncrypt.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:certbot/certbot

sudo apt update

sudo apt install -y python3-certbot-nginx

sudo certbot --nginx -d yourdomain.com -d www.yourdomain.com

sudo service nginx restart
