Includes:

  • Nginx
  • Supervisor
  • production user with uid=1000 and gid=1000
  • dcron
  • SSL provision

Supervisord

To override supervisord configuration just add a file: /etc/supervisor/conf.d/supervisord.conf

Overriding maintenance page

Add your replacement file to the /var/www/maintenance-page/index.html to replace the default maintenance page.

Overriding maintenance mode nginx configuration

/ssl-provision/nginx.conf is the place to upload your custom configuration for the maintenance mode.

Crontab

By default the nginx is running from a production user and production group, so you may need to run your things in the crontab as the web user - then add your crontab to the /etc/crontab.d/production

SSL Provision

Is a light tool that verifies if all SSL certificates are already generated by checking if they exists in the filesystem. If any key is missing then a maintenance page is showed and the webserver is configured to allow reading from .well-known directory which is used for eg. LetsEncrypt to verify domain.

Benefits:

  • Instead of crashing nginx with a missing certificate error it creates a maintenance page friendly for LetsEncrypt
  • Allows to split deployment and manage certificates by eg. Ansible on host instead of creating a complicated structure of SSL generation inside of the Docker container
