Cannot find `/etc/letsencrypt/live/` in a container - docker

Question

I have a server working well with the following docker-compose.yml. I can find in container /etc/letsencrypt/live/v2.10studio.tech/fullchain.pem and /etc/letsencrypt/live/v2.10studio.tech/privkey.pem.
version: "3"
services:
frontend:
restart: unless-stopped
image: staticfloat/nginx-certbot
ports:
- 80:8080/tcp
- 443:443/tcp
environment:
CERTBOT_EMAIL: owner#company.com
volumes:
- ./conf.d:/etc/nginx/user.conf.d:ro
- letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt
10studio:
image: bitnami/nginx:1.16
restart: always
volumes:
- ./build:/app
- ./default.conf:/opt/bitnami/nginx/conf/server_blocks/default.conf:ro
- ./configs/config.prod.js:/app/lib/config.js
depends_on:
- frontend
volumes:
letsencrypt:
networks:
default:
external:
name: 10studio
I tried to create another server with the same setting, but I could not find live under /etc/letsencrypt of the container.
Does anyone know what's wrong? where do files under /etc/letsencrypt/live come from?
Edit 1:
I have one file conf.d/.conf, I tried to rebuild and got the following message:
root#iZj6cikgrkjzogdi7x6rdoZ:~/10Studio/pfw# docker-compose up --build --force-recreate --no-deps

If I do docker-compose up -d --build, I still cannot find /etc/letsencrypt/live in the container.

Answer 1

Please go through the original site of this image staticfloat/nginx-certbot, it will create and automatically renew website SSL certificates.
With the configuraiton file under ./conf.d
Create a config directory for your custom configs:
$ mkdir conf.d
And a .conf in that directory:
server {
listen 443 ssl;
server_name server.company.com;
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/server.company.com/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/server.company.com/privkey.pem;
location / {
...
}
}
because /etc/letsencrypt is mounted from a persistent volume letsencrypt
services:
frontend:
restart: unless-stopped
image: staticfloat/nginx-certbot
...
volumes:
...
- letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt
volumes:
letsencrypt:
If you need reference /etc/letsencrypt/live, you need mount the same volume letsencrypt into your new application as well

Answer 2

It works after changing ports: - 80:8080/tcp to ports: - 80:80/tcp.

Answer 3

As /etc/letsencrypt is a mounted volume that is persisted over restarts of your container, I would assume that any process added these files to the volume. According to a quick search using my favorite search engine, /etc/letsencrypt/live is filled with files after creating certificates
