In order for all Docker container services to be SSL enabled and accessible without having to specify a port address, we utilize a proxy container. The node Redbird library makes this implementation detail trivial.
To add a container to the proxy, add a line to the end of the file like so:
redbird.register('gis.dola.colorado.gov/sd', 'http://sdapi:4006', {ssl: true});
The only moving parts to this line of code are:
/sd
The URL directory path where all your addresses will be located. So, if in your api you specified a route '/lookups?', then it will now be publicly accessible (with SSL) through /sd/lookups?
sdapi
This is the container name you specify in your 'docker run...' command.
4006
This is the port that the container is running on. It does not have to be an open port (since it will be proxied to 443).
