PSA: Don't do this. Secrets don't belong in docker images, they belong in proper secret management tools.

  I get what you mean - i would say that not everyone has a devops team and is setting up a whole bunch of infrastructure. I would rather recommend a ssl certificate baked into a docker image (stored in a private registry) versus no https at all even if you use a secrets management tool, there are very few (probably none) that can bootstrap a Letsencrypt api. So this new one makes that possible as well.

    If you want something simple, how about just installing nginx on the host to forward-proxy your Docker container?

      but how is that more secure or simpler than running a docker image ? to setup the nginx on my host, i would still have to store the certificates somewhere right. Docker is not what is making this thing complicated.

        Using nginx and a let's encrypt client on the host, the certificates are only generated and kept inside the machine itself. That's safer than baking them into the Docker image, which will be copied around.
