Point an NGINX Reverse Proxy to Wordpress Running on Docker

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 letsencrypt

Thank you! I'm late to the party, but for some reason I just wasn't getting it when explained by others. They kept going into all of the different types of docker networks. You broke it down so by step in a way that made sense.

[@orantesblanks1357]

I struggled with this until this video. Extremely helpful....thank you!

[@zyghom]

man, you are genius! the way you explain difficult things ... amazing

[@laurenbridges3329]

this is filling in so many gaps for me, thank you!

Perfect, I just need the SSL Single-Site & wildcard.
I would love it if you make a video series about making multiple sites with Nginx & docker-compose with WP in the same instance. As you were explaining in this video. Thank you for your post.

Great informative video!! Eagerly waiting for the next one,, SSL cert using letsencrypt ♥️🔥

[@john-davidbennett1072]

This was perfect. All the examples I find about reverse proxy / wordpress include the nginx server as part of the docker-compose. I am hosting multiple websites behind the webserver / some containers, some not. This solved all of my issues.

Great video. Glad you're back at it.
