SteveLTN/https-portal

HTTPS-PORTAL is an automated HTTPS server built on Nginx, Docker, and Let's Encrypt that manages SSL certificate lifecycles and reverse proxy configurations. It dynamically generates Nginx templates to route traffic to upstream containers, supporting features like basic authentication, IP restrictions, and multi-upstream routing. The system handles certificate renewal, environment variable hot-reloading, and log rotation, all managed through a modular Ruby backend and supervised by s6-overlay.
