install ca-certificates

[mathroc]

I've seen a few images (eg: https://github.com/jwilder/nginx-proxy) having to install ca-certificates on their images to configure SSL/ this means they have to apt-get update && apt-get install ... && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*.

it would simplify things if ca-certificates was installed by default as it seems it's a useful package for nginx

would you consider adding it into the image?

Thank you @mathroc, this makes sense indeed.

Fixed and pushed.

Did this change get dropped? I don't see it in current mainline or stable.

https://github.com/nginxinc/docker-nginx/blob/1d2e2ccae2f6e478f628f4091d8a5c36a122a157/stable/stretch/Dockerfile

[thresheek]

Yes, dropped in ec7ff8c

Is it expected then to install ca-certificates if it's desired on downstream images?

[thresheek]

Yep.
