How to add environment variables to nginx.conf

This is the hack approach to adding environment variables to the nginx configuration files. As with most Google results for this search, the reason is Docker.

The setup

I intended to deploy two Docker containers.

	#!/bin/bash

	# U need this folder to exist
	mkdir ~/certs

	# authenticate yourself (requires that nothing runs on ports 443 and 80)
	docker run --rm -it -v ~/certs:/etc/letsencrypt -p 443:443 certbot/certbot certonly --authenticator standalone

	# renewal
	docker run --rm -it -v ~/certs:/etc/letsencrypt certbot/certbot renew

	1) Create a branch with the tag
	git branch {tagname}-branch {tagname}
	git checkout {tagname}-branch

	2) Include the fix manually if it's just a change ....
	git add .
	git ci -m "Fix included"
	or cherry-pick the commit, whatever is easier
	git cherry-pick {num_commit}

	#!/usr/bin/env bash
