Deploy Reaction Commerce on Digital Ocean with Nginx and a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate

docker-ssl-deployment.sh

# start a server on Digital Ocean
# https://docs.docker.com/machine/drivers/digital-ocean/
docker-machine create \
  --driver digitalocean \
  --digitalocean-access-token <YOUR API KEY> \
  --digitalocean-size 2gb \
  reaction


# tell Docker to run commands on that server
eval "$(docker-machine env reaction)"


# Nginx 
# https://github.com/jwilder/nginx-proxy
docker run -d -p 80:80 -p 443:443 \
  --name nginx-proxy \
  -v /opt/certs:/etc/nginx/certs:ro \
  -v /etc/nginx/vhost.d \
  -v /usr/share/nginx/html \
  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock:ro \

docker run -d \

# Reaction

docker run -d \
  --name reaction \
  --restart always \
  -e MONGO_URL="mongodb://some-url" \
  -e ROOT_URL="https://yoursite.com" \

  -e VIRTUAL_PORT=3000 \
  -e LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL="your.email@example.com"
  -e LETSENCRYPT_HOST="yoursite.com"
  reactioncommerce/reaction:latest
  

The third docker command in the guide missed \ character at the end.
It should be

docker run -d \
  --name reaction \
  --restart always \
  -e MONGO_URL="mongodb://some-url" \
  -e ROOT_URL="https://yoursite.com" \
  -e VIRTUAL_HOST="yoursite.com" \
  -e VIRTUAL_PORT=3000 \
  -e LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL="your.email@example.com" \
  -e LETSENCRYPT_HOST="yoursite.com" \
  reactioncommerce/reaction:latest

Hi I attempted to deploy reactioncommerce to digitalocean with a lets encrypt ssl by following this guide but I have several errors and problems. The first problem is that I have a "503 Service Temporarily Unavailable nginx/1.11.13" on the domain name I have attached my droplet too "naturalmedicinepharmacy.com".

After deploying the container I got the error

“docker: Error response from daemon: driver failed programming external connectivity on endpoint reaction (b708f485bce1d37366ea5787c6432e607bed6d5a8f30c0d5f413b06cede11a7e): Bind for 0.0.0.0:80 failed: port is already allocated.”

If you have any solutions that would be great. Thank You!

Here is what I deployed with docker:

docker-machine create
--driver digitalocean
--digitalocean-access-token
--digitalocean-size 512mb
--digitalocean-region sfo1
reaction

eval "$(docker-machine env reaction)"

docker run -d -p 80:80 -p 443:443
--name nginx-proxy
-v /opt/certs:/etc/nginx/certs:ro
-v /etc/nginx/vhost.d
-v /usr/share/nginx/html
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock:ro
jwilder/nginx-proxy:latest

docker run -d
--name lets-encrypt
--volumes-from nginx-proxy
-v /opt/certs:/etc/nginx/certs:rw
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro
jrcs/letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion:latest

docker run -d
--name reaction
--restart always
-p 80:3000
-e MONGO_URL="mongodb://SERVER-IP-ADDRESS“
-e ROOT_URL="https://naturalmedicinepharmacy.com"
-e REACTION_EMAIL=“my-email”
-e REACTION_USER=“username”
-e REACTION_AUTH=“password”
-e VIRTUAL_HOST="naturalmedicinepharmacy.com"
