but how is that more secure or simpler than running a docker image ?

to setup the nginx on my host, i would still have to store the certificates somewhere right.

Docker is not what is making this thing complicated.

Using nginx and a let's encrypt client on the host, the certificates are only generated and kept inside the machine itself. That's safer than baking them into the Docker image, which will be copied around.
