⁠Introduction

This dockerfile will build an Ubuntu-based web server that uses nginx, PHP7.2 (from ppa:ondrej/php) and MongoDB (community edition release).

⁠Installation

Automated builds of this image are available on Dockerhub⁠ and is the recommmend method of installation.

docker pull andrewhills/ubuntu-web-server:latest

Alternatively, you can build this image locally:

docker build -t andrewhills/ubuntu-web-server github.com/ahills60/ubuntu-web-server

## Quick Start
You can manually launch the Ubuntu web server container by running:
```bash
docker run --name ubuntu-web-server -d \
    --publish 80:80 \
    --volume /srv/docker/www/:/var/www/html \
    andrewhills/ubuntu-web-server:latest

This will publish the web server on port 80 and serve web pages that are stored within /srv/docker/www/.

Installation of additional packages using PHP Composer is possible by entering the container instance in bash:

docker exec -it ubuntu-web-server bash

Then navigate to the directory of interest, e.g. /var/www/html, and run php composer, e.g.

composer require monogodb/mongodb

⁠Additional Features

This container implements a git pull hook within nginx that activates on navigation to /git-pull. This will only work if credentials to the repository have been set up accordingly for the root user and that the html directory is a git repository.
