I was following this tutorial on how to install Nginx https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-nginx-on-ubuntu-20-04
I could not get Nginx to start as Docker is already using port 80. Should I be using a different method to add an ssl certificate if using Docker?

Hi @lukewaldron87,
So, port 80 is what your Browser uses when you load a website using HTTP. If you use HTTPS to open a website, it uses port 443. I’m not sure what you are using Docker for but usually, I would recommend using Nginx on that port.
Once you have that, you should be able to set a reverse proxy to your Docker instance with Nginx so that you would be able to use both. I’ve found a DigitalOcean tutorial which I think can help you out in your case, please check it out:
