This is a template of the solution I've used in various forms for years for local development. It's easy, flexable, and gives me a near magical solution for always running HTTP apps through docker-compose with TLS, any DNS name, all on a single port with host-header SNI routing via Traefik proxy.

• You want to use TLS locally in HTTP development
• You would like a single proxy app to all of your containers (microservices, etc.) on 80/443
• You'd like to use domain names for all your compose services, like https://api.bret.lol without touching /etc/hosts
• You'd like a trusted certificate in your browsers for local dev and test of any app hostname (api, www, blog, etc.)
• You'd like this to all happen consistanly across all your dev projects

Inspired by this great Traefik + Compose walkthough

1. Decide on your URL scheme like *.xip.io, *.localhost, *.vcap.me, or even *.bret.lol
2. Create and install a self-signed wildcard cert for your browser with cert.sh
3. Add this docker-compose.yaml and traefik.yaml to your projects, and replace the nginx/httpd example compose services with your apps
