Hi,
I read following article about setup nginx virtual hosts. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-nginx-server-blocks-virtual-hosts-on-ubuntu-14-04-lts
However, I require a bit further. If I have multiple docker containers with one website hosted in each, how to do that with nginx? Is there a tutorial about how to do this?
Thanks Rob L

This question was answered by @ryanpq:
What I would recommend is to set up your individual containers with their services listening on different ports and then use proxy_pass to proxy connections to the correct service. Since you could not have a web service in two different docker containers both listening on port 80 (at least publicly) you can use nginx to translate server blocks to ports either on the public network or the internal one used by docker.
