nginx as a proxy server for your public s3 buckets

How to setup?

Changes required in default.conf

• Change base_s3_url to your something like - s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com, which points to your region where the bucket is situated.
• Change bucket_name to the name of your bucket.

How to create a container for the same?

• Run docker build -t mynginx_image1 . in the root of the directory. (This will create an image for the nginx).
• Run docker run --name mynginx1 -p 80:80 -d mynginx_image1, this will run the docker container in the detached mode, and you are done.

Example

• If your s3 uploaded file was earlier directed as https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/demo_bucket/image1.png, now it can be proxy passed as localhost/image1.png.
• You can change the server as per your domain.
