Until now, we have seen the manual deployment of a reverse proxy server (Nginx). Let's automate that by gluing things together. We are going to use a few tools, as follows:
- Make

On Linux-based machines (Ubuntu and Mac OS X), Make is available as part of GCC (the C language toolchain). You can install docker-compose using the Python pip tool:

Let's create a directory called deploySetup. It holds the whole code we are going to show. It...
