How to setup Nginx reverse proxy for multiple containers with each container having its own Nginx server

Question

I've a VPS on which I want to deploy multiple web applications (for which I've already read posts and they're perfect when we have directly sub container). I want to manage each web application having its own nginx to route to its sub domains and also some static website's related to them. I've two docker compose. My network looks like the following. Image.

My NGINX Rerverse proxy should be responsible to route the domains to respective nginx container. It might be possible or not I'm not sure (that's why I asked help). If someone can provide a better understanding that I'm open to suggestions. Below is my configuration for nginx proxy container and other web apps docker yaml file code. I've used the NGINX PROXY

NGINX PROXY Docker Compose File

      - "443:443"
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock:ro

Have a look at jwilder nginx proxy and its dockergen companion. You don't have to use it, but I'm sure that studying it will give you some good ideas. – Duisburg

Hi @Duisburg thanks for the comments can explain why I don’t have to use Nginx proxy???? – Peshawar

I was not clear... you don't have to use jwilder's solution if you don't want to. I linked it as an example. – Duisburg
