devries/nginx repository overview

⁠Nginx Docker Image

The Dockerfile included in the repository creates an image based on the ubuntu14.04 image with nginx installed.

The file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf is modified to turn off daemon mode and to log the access_log and error_log to stdout. Ports 80 and 443 are exposed by default.

You can serve static content by attaching a volume of content from the host to the container, i.e.:

docker run -v /path/to/content:/usr/share/nginx/html -p 0.0.0.0:80:80 -d devries/nginx

You can use the container with a custom proxy configuration by putting proxy info in a directory and using that directory as the sites-enabled location in the container, i.e.:

docker run -v /path/to/proxy/config/directory:/etc/nginx/sites-enabled -p 0.0.0.0:80:80 -d devries/nginx
