The whole point of me providing a docker image is to make it a 'best of breed' 
solution so people do not have to muck around having to configure everything 
themselves.

It uses mod_wsgi-express and so people do not need to worry about server 
configuration themselves. By suggesting using nginx in the same container when 
the pre configured setup will be more than adequate for 95+% of people sort of 
defeats the whole point of why the image was created.

As to TLS, mod_wsgi-express already makes that easy.

Static file serving is also more than adequate and mod_wsgi-express provides 
special configuration to allow special layering capabilities with the way that 
static file handling is done to make that easy as well.

Finally, in a docker world, embedding nginx in the same container sort of goes 
against the philosophy of how you use containers. The approach one would use if 
there was some need to offload some work to nginx, especially if using it for 
load balancing, would be to have the nginx running in a different container 
which was linked to the containers running the Python web application.

Anyway, I will followup with the TLS options and how to set it up in a while 
after have dumped kids at school.
