Alpine microcontainer with Nginx
This is a micro docker container 
Examples
This images are build on nimmis/alpine-micro which are a modified version of Alpine with a working init process, and a working cron, logrotate and syslog. Services are started with runit daemon, for more information about that see nimmis/alpine-mico
starting the container as a daemon
docker run -d --name nginx nimmis/alpine-nginx
This will start the container with nginx process runnung, access the container with
docker exec -ti nginx /bin/sh
Static web folder
The images exposes a volume at /web. The structure below /web is
| Directory | Function |
|---|---|
| html | web root |
| cgi-bin | cgi bin folder |
| config | apache config directory |
| logs | nginx log directory |
To use this start the container with
docker run -d --name nginx -v /path/to/web:/web nimmis/alpine-nginx
if the folders are missing they will be created
Accessing apache from outside the container
To access the webserver from external you use the -P command where the syntax is
-P <external port on host>:<local port in container>
so to access the apache server on port 8080 you should use the command
docker run -d --name nginx -p 8080:80 nimmis/alpine-nginx
