Replacing nginx With CommandBox In ColdFusion Dev Environment

A developer shares how they replaced nginx with CommandBox in their local ColdFusion Docker development environment. The nginx container was previously needed for URL rewriting (SES URLs) and self-signed SSL certificates. CommandBox's Docker image now handles both via its server.json configuration file, collapsing two Docker services into one. The post also covers pre-baking the Adobe ColdFusion 2025 engine into the Docker image using the FINALIZE_STARTUP flag to avoid slow re-downloads on every container start.
