bugthing/docker-nginx repository overview

⁠docker-nginx

Docker image providing a very simple Nginx service. Built for use on my VPS to serve up web sites.

⁠Build

docker build -t bugthing/docker-nginx .

⁠Run container

Before running the docker container you must prepare with the following steps

  • Place the site(s) content. (e.g /sites/example.com)
  • Generate SSL cert(s) (e.g ./certs/example.com.key ./certs/example.com.crt)
  • Write config file(s). (e.g ./sites-enabled/example.com)

Once you have setup the directory you should be able to run the container, like so:

docker run -d --name=vps-nginx -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -v `pwd`/sites:/sites -v `pwd`/certs:/etc/nginx/certs -v `pwd`/sites-enabled:/etc/nginx/sites-enabled -v `pwd`/logs:/var/log/nginx bugthing/docker-nginx

⁠Directories

This docker image is built around referencing prepared volumes (directories), below is an explaination of each volume.

⁠sites-enabled

To be mounted at /etc/nginx/sites-enabled

Each specific sites configuration. For example:

server {
    server_name .example.com; # for default use: server_name  _;
    ssl_certificate      /etc/nginx/certs/example.crt;
    ssl_certificate_key  /etc/nginx/certs/example.key;
    listen 80; # for default use: listen 80 default_server;
    listen 443 ssl;
    root /sites/example.com;
    index index.html index.htm;
}
⁠certs

To be mounted at /etc/nginx/certs

A place to put all the generated SSL certificates.

⁠sites

To be mounted at /sites

The HTML, CSS etc. served up for each site.

Docker image providing a very simple opensmtpd service

Intended to accept mail for configured domains and relay onward to other email addresses

⁠logs

To be mounted at /var/log/nginx

Nginx log output directory

⁠SSL Generation

The following can be using to generate a self signed SSL certificate:

openssl genrsa -des3 -out example.key 2048
openssl req -new -key example.key -out example.csr
cp example.key example.key.org
openssl rsa -in example.key.org -out example.key
openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in example.csr -signkey example.key -out example.crt

⁠How to use

What follows is the commands of how I got a site up on my VPS using this image.

docker pull bugthing/docker-nginx
mkdir -p /storage/docker-container-volumes/nginx
cd /storage/docker-container-volumes/nginx
mkdir sites
mkdir sites-enabled
mkdir certs
mkdir logs
cd certs/
openssl genrsa -des3 -out example.key 2048
openssl req -new -key example.key -out example.csr
cp example.key example.key.org
openssl rsa -in example.key.org -out example.key
openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in example.csr -signkey example.key -out example.crt
rm example.key.org
cd ..
vi sites-enabled/example
mkdir sites/example
vi sites/example/index.html
docker run -d --name=nginx -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -v `pwd`/sites:/sites -v `pwd`/certs:/etc/nginx/certs -v `pwd`/sites-enabled:/etc/nginx/sites-enabled -v `pwd`/logs:/var/log/nginx bugthing/docker-nginx
