This repo is archived. It's not being maintained and may no longer work. I recommend looking into more native approaches to reload configuration or another tool which can support auto-reloading.
Based off the official NGINX container, this image starts a Cron job that automatically reloads the NGINX configuration every day.
I use docker-letsencrypt-manager to automatically renew my LetsEncrypt certificates. I found that when my certificates renew, NGINX would continue to use the old certificates.
With this image, NGINX will swap to the new certificates automatically.
