README

This is Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu:14.04) image with SSL support. It could mount following data volumes at runtime:

• /var/www for your site content
• /var/log/apache2, optionally, if you want to store logfiles visibly outside the container
• /etc/ssl, optionally, if you wish to use SSL with real keys
• /etc/apache2, optionaly, all the apache2 configurations can be set from here

A note on SSL

By defaults, Apache will use the bundled "snakeoil" cert/key when serving SSL. Obviously this is NOT for production, so you should to mount production certs and keys onto /etc/ssl/ or /etc/apache2/ssl and change the related ssl configurations in the site conf.

Simple Examples

Assuming www content at $(pwd)/vol/www/, the below will be sufficient to serve it. Note that many Docker users encourage mounting data from a storage container, rather than directly from the filesyetem.

Run apache container:

# docker run -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -d dockerage/apache

Varify it is running:

# curl http://localhost

or

# curl -k https://localhost	

Run apache with www contents under $(pwd)/vol/www/:

# docker run -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -d  -v $(pwd)/vol/www/:/var/www dockerage/apache

Run apache with custermized configurations under $(pwd)/vol/apache2/:

# docker run -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -d  \
	-v $(pwd)/vol/mysite.conf:/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mysite.conf \
	-v $(pwd)/vol/apache2/ssl:/etc/apache2/ssl \
	-v $(pwd)/vol/www/:/var/www \
	dockerage/apache
