camw/centos-nginx repository overview

⁠centos-nginx

Docker image for a basic nginx on centos container. This image allows for easy website and config updates from a git repository.

⁠getting started

To get an instance up and running, you would need to do the following:

• fork the https://github.com/CamW/centos-nginx-demo⁠ repo and change the conf/nginx.conf file to point to your domain, as indicated in the repo's README.md
• Create an instance of the container by running:
  • docker run -d --name=your_website -p 80:80 -p 443:443 camw/centos-nginx
• Pull the code for your new website (created in step 1) into the container by running:
  • docker exec -ti your_website get https://www.github.com/user/your_repo.git
• Restart the container so that nginx config changes take effect
  • docker restart your_website

Then, when you've made changes to your site in git, just run docker exec -ti your_website update to update your container with the new changes.

⁠extension points

This image may not serve all your needs as is. There may, for example, be other packages you need installed in which case you could create a dockerfile which starts with this this image and adds what you need. As an example:

FROM camw/centos-nginx:latest
MAINTAINER Your Name <[email protected]>
RUN yum -y install package-x

You may also need a more complicated build process which requires more than just copying files into the folder such as grunt minification and versioning. That could be included in the scripts/publish_src.sh script which is in your website repo, forked from https://github.com/CamW/centos-nginx-demo
