🌍 Traefik + Nginx Reverse Proxy

📌 About

This project sets up a Traefik v2.5 reverse proxy 🛡️ and an Nginx container 🌐 to manage traffic and securely route requests to your services. It uses Let's Encrypt SSL certificates 🔐 for secure HTTPS connections and makes it easy to handle domain-based routing.

---

🚀 Features

✅ Traefik as Reverse Proxy – Handles incoming traffic efficiently.
✅ Let's Encrypt SSL – Automatic HTTPS with free SSL certificates.
✅ Dockerized Setup 🐳 – Easily deploy and manage with Docker Compose.
✅ Domain-based Routing 🌍 – Routes requests to different services.
✅ Nginx for Custom Proxying – Acts as a secondary proxy for specific requests.

📦 Services

🔹 Traefik (Reverse Proxy & SSL)

• Manages HTTP(S) traffic.
• Automatically generates SSL certificates via Let's Encrypt.
• Routes requests to services based on domain names.

🔹 Nginx (Custom Reverse Proxy)

• Serves as an additional proxy layer.
• Configurable via nginx.conf.
• Routes requests to https://damarsalaka.com.

🛠️ Setup

1️⃣ Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/proxy-traefik-nginx.git
cd proxy-traefik-nginx

2️⃣ Create & Configure nginx.conf

Make sure your nginx.conf file exists in the project directory and is properly configured.

3️⃣ Run the Containers

docker-compose up -d

This will:
✅ Start Traefik to handle traffic.
✅ Start Nginx as a secondary reverse proxy.
✅ Enable SSL certificates via Let's Encrypt.

🔧 Configuration

🌍 Domain & SSL Configuration

Modify the traefik service labels in docker-compose.yml to match your domain and email:

- "traefik.http.routers.api.rule=Host(`traefik.yourdomain.com`)"
- "traefik.http.routers.salaka-proxy.rule=Host(`yourdomain.com`)"
- "--certificatesresolvers.myresolver.acme.email=your@email.com"

📄 Custom Nginx Configuration

Update the nginx.conf file to customize the proxy behavior.
