Plesk-Docker Proxy Rules

When considering Plesk and Docker, the term “proxy rules” typically refers to the way Plesk controls and directs incoming web traffic to Docker containers. Web request routing to Docker-based applications is made easier with Plesk’s “Docker Proxy Rules” feature.

How to set up Docker Proxy Rules in Plesk?

1. Ensure that Docker is set up and active on the server.

2. Configure the application or website within the Docker container.

3. Access the Plesk control panel by logging in as the administrator.

4. To set up Docker Proxy Rules, create a new subdomain or domain (or utilize an existing one).

5. Navigate to the Plesk settings for the domain or subdomain.

6. Search for a section titled “Docker Proxy Rules” or something comparable. We will specify the guidelines for proxying requests to the Docker container here.

7. Edit an existing proxy rule or add a new one.

8. Specify the IP address and port of the final Docker container.

9. Select the proper SSL certificate if required and decide whether to enable SSL/TLS termination.

10. Save the settings for the proxy rules.

11. In order to check if the requests reaches the Docker container in the correct order, access the subdomain or domain in a web browser.

12. Ensure that traffic to and from the Docker container is permitted by the networking and firewall setups on the server.

13. Check the settings and traffic frequently to make sure the proxy rules are operating as intended.

14. If we experience any problems, use the Plesk and Docker logs to identify and solve the issue.

15. We might need to set up extra options, such as load balancing, caching, and security precautions, depending on the needs.
