I just can't stop thinking about this. Also I couldn't find anything on Docker's docs. How can acme read other containers' VIRTUAL_HOST environment variables and create certificates for them? Or did I understand the system completely wrong? |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.

Hi @AlperShal. acme-companion reads the other containers environments by running docker-gen internally (like nginx-proxy). docker-gen it self does this through the Docker API, and access that API through the Docker socket. |
