+# interrobangc/nginx
+
+This is an nginx docker image that adds some features to [nginx:alpine](https://store.docker.com/images/nginx).
+
+
+## SSL
+
+A self signed ssl certificate will be generate on startup unless the environmental variable `SKIP_SSL_GENERATE` is set or any of the following files exist:
+
+* `/etc/ssl/cert.pem`
+* `/etc/ssl/key.pem`
+
+
+### SSL ENV Variables
+
+* **SSL_KEY_LENGTH** (Default: `2048`) - Length of SSL key.
+
+* **SSL_C** (Default: `US`) - Country
+
+* **SSL_ST** (Default: `NC`) - State
+
+* **SSL_L** (Default: `Mars Hill`) - Locality
+
+* **SSL_O** (Default: `Interrobang Consulting`) - Organization Name
+
+* **SSL_OU** (Default: `www`) - Organizational Unit Name
+
+* **SSL_CN** (Default: `interrobang.consulting`) - Common Name
+
+* **SSL_DAYS** (Default: `3650`) - Days until generated certificate expires
+
+
+## Clear Cloudflare Cache
+
+When the proper environmental variables are set, this image will handle purging cloudflare cache. It will only purge on initial startup, not on every restart of the container.
+
+
+### Cloudflare Cache ENV Variables
+
+* **CLOUDFLARE_KEY** (Required) - User's cloudflare API key
+
+* **CLOUDFLARE_EMAIL** (Required) - User's cloudflare email
+
+* **CLOUDFLARE_ZONE** (Required) - Cloudflare zone to act on
+
+* **CLOUDFLARE_PURGE_ALL** - Purge all cache
+
+* **CLOUDFLARE_CLEAR_CACHE_URLS** - list of urls to clear. This should be a json representation as defined in [the cloudflare documentation](https://api.cloudflare.com/#zone-purge-individual-files-by-url).
