Setting proxy to default page, instead of the 503

[syntaxgirl]

How to setup default page for proxy, so it doesn't lead to 503?

Hi @syntaxgirl!

Nice reminder. I was missing that option in fresh install script. You now may add the option -dh your_domain.com or --default-host=your_domain.com in order to set up the default host as per nginx-proxy documentation:

https://github.com/nginx-proxy/nginx-proxy#default-host

Please remember that you must have the same domain configured as a VIRTUAL_HOST in a new container and running in the same network of the proxy in order to correctly redirect the request to this container.
