Virtual Host Aliases

Based on nginx-proxy/nginx-proxy#1369 this project supports creating domain alias which redirect users to the main domain.

You can add aliases that will redirect (301) to the first entry in VIRTUAL_HOST by adding the VIRTUAL_HOST_ALIAS env var: $ docker run -e VIRTUAL_HOST=example.com -e VIRTUAL_HOST_ALIAS=www.example.com,old.example.com ... This will setup the following redirects:

• http://www.example.com → http://example.com
• http://old.example.com → http://example.com

Remeber to add all the aliases to the LETSENCRYPT_HOST to generate their certificates.
