    MACHINE CAPABLE OF RUNNING DOCKER CONTAINERS

    Plus last month’s tutorial for domain configuration.

    LAST ISSUE, WE SHOWED YOU HOW TO SET UP a secure reverse proxy with a combination of nginx and Lets Encrypt, using a standard Linux or Windows PC. This time around, we’re going to deliver the same combination through a single Docker container from LinuxServer, which enables you to set up the reverse proxy without having to dedicate an entire physical or virtual machine to it.

    Because the most logical place for this container will be on a low-powered machine running 24-7, we’ve focused on the powerful QNAP range of NAS drives, using the company’s Container for a step-by-step guide to getting this running in Windows or Linux.
