Intro to NGINX Reverse Proxy with Docker Compose

In a previous article, I discussed how to deploy a website to Windows/Linux using React, WordPress, and NGINX containers with Docker Compose. To do this, it is necessary that Docker containers can speak to each other via the Docker network. A practical example of this, as per my referenced article, is how NGINX receives incoming client requests and communicates with the WordPress container to service those requests. This concept is known as a reverse proxying.
