# Docker Compose + Traefik TLS Proxy + Let's encrypt Wildcard Cert

> This is an example is mainly for solo developers. But it is easy to study and change to fit into your shoes.

This is an example of a solution I've used in various forms for months for local development. It's easy, flexable, and gives a near magical solution for always running HTTP apps through docker-compose with valid TLS, all on a single port with host-header SNI routing via Traefik proxy.

## Why would you want this?

- You want to use TLS locally in HTTP development

- You would like a single proxy app to all of your containers (microservices, etc.) on `80/443`

- You'd like to use domain names for all your compose services, like https://api.domain.dev without touching `/etc/hosts`

- You'd like a trusted certificate in your browsers for local dev and test of any app hostname (api, www, blog, etc.)

- You'd like this to all happen consistanly across all your dev projects

Inspired by Bret Fisher [project][]

## Requirements

1. Docker

2. Docker Compose

3. Domain Name

4. Digital Ocean account [referral link][]

## Overall Steps to Implement

1. Decide which [DNS provider][] you want to use, for me I use [Digital Ocean][]

2. Add two DNS records to your domain name DNS record, which points to your computer IP, like : `*.domain.dev 192.168.1.10 / domain.dev 192.168.1.10`.

3. Create a new environment file called `.env` which should be a copy from `.env.example` and update the values based on your project.

If you want to run the example, make sure to have an environment file called `.env.minio` which should be a copy from `.env.minio.example`

The main services are the socket and the proxy, one to protect your docker socket and the second is for [traefik][].

## Note

This is not a template, this is an example that you can study and implement.
