I am successfully running my Django web application using Gunicorn inside a docker container. This is running on a Ubuntu 16.04.6 system. What I am trying to do is have Nginx (running inside a Docker container) act as my web server and forward the request to the gunicorn docker container. Note: At the command line I can execute my nginx image and have it successfully ping the gunicorn one by using: sudo docker container exec -ti 11e65460b93c ping django_web
where 11e65460b93c is the container id of the nginx container and django_web is the name of the gunicorn container.
When I browse to http://my_ip:1337/ I get the message: Welcome to nginx! If you see this page, the nginx web server is successfully installed and working. Further configuration is required.
I don’t know what that further configuration is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here are my files: Dockerfile
FROM python:3.6
ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED 1
ENV PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE 1
ARG HTTP_PROXY
ARG HTTPS_PROXY
COPY ./requirements.txt /requirements.txt
RUN pip install -r /requirements.txt

}

Hi there @philox,
To me it looks like that the Nginx configuration file is loading correctly due to the
default.conf
Nginx file. What I could suggest is updating your Docker file to:Let me know how it goes. Regards, Bobby
