docker-compose with-nginx-proxy example with self-signed ssl crashes with no debug logs
When running the compose.yaml file from .examples/.examples/docker-compose/with-nginx-proxy/mariadb/apache with a self-signed certificate, nginx will crash with little to no explanation of what is happening. The example, running with a MYSQL_PASSWORD set and the db.env file appropriately updated, shows log entries like this, but does not explain why it is shutting down:

For reference, here is the dockerfile that I am using, the two changes are to set the VIRTUAL_HOST and the location of the db.env file with an appropriately updated db.env file:

I believe this example should be configured so that nginx-proxy produces more granular log messages, or at least put a comment in the compose.yaml that provides an environment variable that can be set to increase nginx verbosity. I'm not sure how to fix the example so that it actually runs with the self-signed certificate, though.
Colors also appear muted in other views for all events in the past. While I can kind of see the usefulness of this, it lowers readability/usability when looking over past events. The feature really should be optional, or maybe replaced with some other design language that doesn't so severely affect readability when looking at past events.
