A Docker micro image for uhttpd, a tiny, lightweight web server. The image is built using [alpine][alpine]. If you need a quick and small static HTTP server, give this one a go!
This image is hosted on the Docker index as a trusted build and can be pulled down with:
docker pull maximelebastard/uhttpd
To run a simple detached container:
docker run -d -p 80 maximelebastard/alpine-uhttpd
If you want to serve the contents of the current directory in the container (warning, the directory will be local to the system running the docker daemon):
docker run -d -p 80 -v `pwd`:/www maximelebastard/alpine-uhttpd
Alternatively, you can use the data container pattern by creating a "data" container and mounting its volumes into the web server container. Let's use named containers to make this easier:
docker run -v /www --name www_data busybox true
docker run -d -p 80 --volumes-from www_data --name www maximelebastard/alpine-uhttpd
For fun, we'll run a container just to create an index file:
docker run --rm --volumes-from www_data busybox \
/bin/sh -c 'echo "<h1>Hey there</h1>" > /www/index.html'

Pull requests are very welcome! Make sure your patches are well tested. Ideally create a topic branch for every separate change you make. For example:
- Fork the repo
- Create your feature branch (
git checkout -b my-new-feature) - Commit your changes (
git commit -am 'Add support for feature') - Push to the branch (
git push origin my-new-feature)
