Very basic nginx docker container. The nginx runs on ports 80 and 443 inside the docker container, whereby port 80 is redirected to 443. We only allow 'https'.

$ mkdir /tmp/ssl
$ openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 1 -newkey rsa:4096 -subj "/C=DE/ST=Berlin/L=Berlin/O=Endocode AG/OU=IT/CN=localhost" -keyout /tmp/ssl/nginx.key -out /tmp/ssl/nginx.crt

$ docker build -t nginx-ssl:1.9.9 .

$ docker run -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -v /tmp/ssl/:/etc/nginx/ssl/ nginx-ssl:1.9.9

$ curl http://localhost

You'll see a 301 Permanently Moved message.

Next line gives you the expected output:

$ curl -k https://localhost

You can also put localhost into your browser and see, what happens.

You can inspect a running nginx-ssl instance by getting a bash inside the container:

$ docker exec -t -i $(docker ps|grep nginx-ssl:1.9.9|awk '{print $1}') bash

• The built nginx-ssl:1.9.9 docker container (see above)
• A running kubernetes cluster, e.g. check out deploy_coreos_libvirt.sh from [https://coreos.com/os/docs/latest/booting-with-libvirt.html]

$ kubectl create -f nginx-ssl.yaml

$ curl -k https://${CLUSTER_IP_ADDRESS}:30443

where CLUSTER_IP_ADDRESS is the IP address of your kubernetes master.
