docker compose is a great simple orchestration system, but for production purposes we need to support others, for which the hardcoding of backend:port in the frontend nginx.conf is far from ideal...we can use modern nginx docker ability to use envsubst to achieve this instead, which allows full control via ENV vars
Changes
How I tested this
Used a custom ui-frontend which I built from this script...other dockers were identical.
