The command to access the solus_nginx container would not work for me on CentOS 8 until I changed the enclosing braces {} to parentheses ().
docker exec -ti ${docker ps --format '{{ .ID }}' -f name=solus_nginx} sh
-bash: ${docker ps --format '{{ .ID }}' -f name=solus_nginx}: bad substitution
docker exec -ti $(docker ps --format '{{ .ID }}' -f name=solus_nginx) sh
/ #
It would be helpful if you also told us how to setup a cron job for this so that we don't have to look at this article every 3 months for renewing it. Thanks.
