Hey friends 👋

My Docker knowledge is sketchy at best, and whilst I get the core principles, nginx bends my mind. The Docker setup in create-payload-app is great, but I'd like to add an Nginx layer so that I can easily and repeatably deploy Payload to a Digital Ocean droplet (for eg)

Does anyone have a sample Dockerfile that includes the required Nginx setup to expose the Express server from Payload?

...ideally one with domain names etc set in a single config that are then mapped into the image.

Would appreciate any assistance 🙏

I personally prefer to not run nginx inside of a container.

Running it in a container always tends to be more of a headache for me in the long run

☝️ Agree with this. Most would recommend relying on your deployment platform.
