Timothee GosselinandGitHub 1e76e6e04c Documentation for self-hosting with docker compose (#855)
## Purpose

Make self hosting of Docs easier with an example of a deployment
procedure with docker compose and document how to configure Docs.

While https://github.com/suitenumerique/docs/pull/583 propose an easy
way to deploy Docs with docker and Make, here we describe more in
details the various steps and requirements to deploy Docs.

## Proposal

- [x] example to deploy and configure keycloak
- [x] example to deploy and configure minio
- [x] example to configure proxy and certs
- [x] example to deploy and configure Docs

## Improvements
- [x] Rephrase description of environment variables and categorize
- [x] Use template for nginx conf  

Fixes https://github.com/suitenumerique/docs/issues/561
Supersedes https://github.com/suitenumerique/docs/pull/583

 A one liner quick start could be a nice addition:
- [ ] merge all services in a single compose
- [ ] scripts to generate secrets

# Nginx proxy with automatic SSL certificates
> \[!CAUTION\]
> We provide those instructions as an example, for extended development or production environments, you should follow the [official documentation](https://github.com/nginx-proxy/acme-companion/tree/main/docs).
Nginx-proxy sets up a container running nginx and docker-gen. docker-gen generates reverse proxy configs for nginx and reloads nginx when containers are started and stopped.
Acme-companion is a lightweight companion container for nginx-proxy. It handles the automated creation, renewal and use of SSL certificates for proxied Docker containers through the ACME protocol.
## Installation
### Step 1: Prepare your working environment:
```bash
mkdir nginx-proxy
curl -o compose.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/suitenumerique/docs/refs/heads/main/docs/examples/compose/nginx-proxy/compose.yaml
```
### Step 2: Edit `DEFAULT_EMAIL` in the compose file.
Albeit optional, it is recommended to provide a valid default email address through the `DEFAULT_EMAIL` environment variable, so that Let's Encrypt can warn you about expiring certificates and allow you to recover your account.
### Step 3: Create docker network
Containers need share the same network for auto-discovery.
```bash
docker network create proxy-tier
```
### Step 4: Start service
```bash
docker compose up -d
```
## Usage
Once both nginx-proxy and acme-companion containers are up and running, start any container you want proxied with environment variables `VIRTUAL_HOST` and `LETSENCRYPT_HOST` both set to the domain(s) your proxied container is going to use.
