I'm trying to configure my Dockerfile and Docker Compose for production, but I've been searching for two days and I'm not finding the best resources. I want to use Nginx as a reverse proxy and also set up SSL for my website. Any advice or examples would be greatly appreciated!

It sounds like you need to provide a bit more context. Are you working with a static site or a multi-layer application? Knowing that makes a huge difference. Also, how many users are you expecting? If it’s just for you and a few friends, you can take shortcuts. Typically, you’d start with a local Dockerfile to get everything running, then have GitHub handle your versioning and automated testing. Don’t forget that your Docker Compose needs to set up the environment variables too!
Honestly, your question could use more specifics, but basically, just create your Dockerfile and Docker Compose. It’s straightforward! If you’re set on using Nginx, just make sure your config files point to the right directories. Don’t overthink it; just get started!
I have a MERN application. I can run applications using Docker locally but I have to host it on VPS. That's why I have to configure Nginx also. Just wanted to know how to configure Docker with Nginx.
I’ve got a MERN stack application. I can run it using Docker locally, but now I need to host it on a VPS. That’s why I’m looking into how to configure Nginx as well, any tips?
