How can I use nginx-proxy to reverse-proxy a website that is not running in a container?
I understand how to use nginx-proxy so that I can reverse proxy to services running in multiple docker containers. However I have several websites on my network that are not running in containers that I also want to reverse proxy. In the official nginx-proxy support forum one user said you can accomplish this:
You can create an "additional.conf" for nginx. There is documentation
on the main README page.
In this additional.conf, you would create a server configuration for
the name and map it to the IP address of your destination.
You'll need to ensure that the destination IP is accessible from
within the container. Looking at your options for a Docker network
type (host vs bridge, etc.) might help.
However I’m unable to find anything discussing how to create a new .conf file where I would perform the ip mapping. Is this user correct? Any examples would be appreciated.

To be clear, your nginx instance is running in a docker container, but you want it to proxy for web applications that are not running in docker containers? Just making sure I'm clear.

Correct. I’d like all of the proxying to be done in one place.

In fact, I don’t know how it would be possible to use more than one instance of nginx if I want to use only 80,443 from the Internet.
