We have a docker container running NGINX and the certificate expired a week ago. I am now stuck trying to figure out what system to generate a CSR on, would it be the virtual machine docker is running on?

How do you replace an SSL certificate installed for a NGINX process running in a docker container?

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

HTTPS is a protocol for secure communication over a computer network which is widely used on the Internet. HTTPS consists of communication over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) within a connection encrypted by Transport Layer Security (TLS) or its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). The main motivation for HTTPS is authentication of the visited website and to protect the privacy and integrity of the exchanged data. HTTPS is widely used for protecting page authenticity on all types of websites, securing accounts and keeping user communications, identity and web browsing private.

Docker is a computer program used to run software packages called containers in an operating-system-level virtualization process called containerization. It’s developed by Docker, Inc. and was first released in 2013.
