tommylau/nginx repository overview

⁠lnmpa-nginx

lnmpa-nginx is a Nginx Server boxed in a Docker image built by Tommy Lau⁠.

⁠What is in this image?

This image is a nginx web server cooked based on the offical docker image nginx, and with the following modifications.

• Switch system timezone to Etc/UTC
• Use /var/www as the web root instead of /user/share/nginx/html
• PHP-FPM ready

⁠How to use this image

⁠Single instance mode

Get the docker image by running the following commands:

docker pull tommylau/nginx

Start an instance:

docker run --name nginx -v /path/to/web:/var/www -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -d tommylau/nginx

This will start an instance, and you are ready to go.

⁠Linking with other containers

For example, if I like to link to a php-fpm server with the name php5.6 and named the host as php in container. For more information about php-fpm in Docker, please refer to tommylau/php⁠.

docker run --name nginx -v /path/to/web:/var/www --link php5.6:php -p 80:80 -d tommylau/apache

Then in the instance, you can use the hostname php to connect to the php-fpm server, however you still have to modify the nginx config file to connect to php-fpm server php.
