To enhance the security and performance of our Django application in Docker Compose, we need to set up Nginx as a reverse proxy server. This issue focuses on configuring Nginx to act as a front-end for our Django app, handling incoming requests and directing them to the appropriate containers within the Docker Compose environment.
Goals:
Install and configure Nginx as a reverse proxy server to sit in front of the Django application.
Update the Docker Compose configuration to include the Nginx service.
Configure Nginx to listen on the desired port and forward incoming requests to the appropriate Django container.
Implement SSL/TLS termination in Nginx to enable secure HTTPS communication.
Set up Nginx to serve static files directly and pass dynamic requests to the Django app.
Ensure proper configuration of Nginx for handling media files, if applicable.
Configure Nginx to handle load balancing if multiple Django containers are running.
Implement necessary security measures in Nginx, such as rate limiting, access control, or IP whitelisting, as per project requirements.
Document the Nginx configuration settings and any necessary changes to the Docker Compose file.
Additional Details:
The Django application is already running successfully within the Docker Compose environment.
Consider using a separate Nginx configuration file for easier management and customization.
Review and update the Docker Compose file to include the Nginx service and any required networking configurations.
Ensure that the Nginx container can communicate with the Django containers within the Docker network.
Test the Nginx configuration to verify that it properly forwards requests to the Django app.
Acceptance Criteria:
Nginx is successfully installed and configured as a reverse proxy server in front of the Django application.
Requests to the designated port are received by Nginx and forwarded to the appropriate Django container(s).
SSL/TLS termination is properly implemented in Nginx for secure HTTPS communication.
Static files are served directly by Nginx, while dynamic requests are passed to the Django app.
Nginx handles load balancing if multiple Django containers are present.
Necessary security measures, as per project requirements, are implemented in Nginx.
The Nginx configuration settings and any changes to the Docker Compose file are well-documented.
