The build.sh script uses the included Dockerfile to build off of the official nginx Docker image, install openssl, create a self-signed certificate, and overwrite the default nginx.conf with the nginx.conf in this repo.

The modified nginx.conf references the self-signed cert and key, answers all traffic on port 443 and forwards that traffic to port 3000 via http://host.docker.internal.

The run.sh script maps host port 443 to port 443 in the container so that any HTTPS request to localhost will be answered by your running nginx container.
