Add option to activate /nginx_status

I think it would be interesting to add the option to activate /nginx_status

I was trying to do my implementation for myself and to pull a request but I was not able to do it successfully. Have anyone done it? Help please.

I was doing a .conf file to add to dock-composer as a volume - /my_proxy.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/my_proxy.conf:ro

server { listen 127.0.0.1:80; server_name 127.0.0.1; location /nginx_status { stub_status on; allow 127.0.0.1; deny all; } }

You can also use nginx-proxy hostname to listen and put “allow all”.

Example: If the name of the nginx-proxy container is “nginx-proxy” then you could have a conf like this:

server { 
	listen nginx-proxy:80; 
	server_name nginx-proxy; 
	location /nginx_status { 
		stub_status on; 
		allow all; 
	} 
} 

Pros: Generic solution. No need for set MY_PUBLIC_IP Cons: It is publicly available. If you do not want that then you may change the listening port. Example:

server { 
	listen nginx-proxy:8081; 
	server_name nginx-proxy; 
	location /nginx_status { 
		stub_status on; 
		allow all; 
	} 
} 

You may test it from a container in the same network with ‘nginx-proxy’ with this way: docker exec nginx-proxy-letsencrypt wget -qO - http://nginx-proxy:8081/nginx_status

I can now check the proxy status from the docker host with this change.

server { server_name MY_PUBLIC_IP; location /nginx_status { stub_status on; access_log off; allow MY_PUBLIC_IP; deny all; } }

Thanks for your help @thomasleveil its working now. Its here for other if they need.

Do docker set any hostname to the docker host that I can use instead of manually enter IP? Thanks.
