For example:

{{upstream}}

server {

    location /{
      add_header u $u;
      proxy_pass http://backend_$u;
    } 

Pull an image

In http://localhost:3000/iamges page, pull an image

Deploy an container

In http://localhost:3000/containers page, create a new conatiner.

Generate Nginx config files and reload

If you have to containers are running:

CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND              CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                     NAMES
0e738babaf33        busybox             "httpd -p 8080 -f"   About an hour ago   Up About an hour    0.0.0.0:32770->8080/tcp   app-v2
4348bed6e1c9        busybox             "httpd -p 8080 -f"   About an hour ago   Up About an hour    0.0.0.0:32769->8080/tcp   app-v1

Click Create Config File button will generate somethins like this:

  upstream backend_app-v2
  {
    server localhost:32770;
  }

  upstream backend_app-v1
  {
    server localhost:32769;
  }

  map $http_v, $u{
    ~app-v2 app-v2;
    ~app-v1 app-v1;
    default app-v1;
  }

server {

    location /{
      add_header u $u;
      proxy_pass http://backend_$u;
    }

Limitations and restrictions

• Can't mount local volumes
• Will expose all ports defined in Dockerfile
• You can specify only container name and CMD params when deploy new containers.
• Can process only one Nginx config file, normally it should be /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
