fedorza/nginx-hence repository overview

⁠Hence Ngnix

Note: This image is still in BETA, and is subject to change without notice.

This is our minimal customized Nginx image based on alpine:3.2⁠.

It uses the s6-overlay⁠ as a process supervisor and for log rotation.

⁠Supported tags and respective Dockerfile links

• latest  nginx/Dockerfile⁠

⁠Features

Builds on the hence/base⁠ image to provide a minimally-sized, fully functional Nginx environment.

This image includes some configuration presets for various applications:

• php: Preset to run a basic php app
• nodejs: Preset to proxy to a running nodeJS app
• angular: Preset to run an angularJS app
• drupal7: Preset to run a Drupal 7⁠ app

Use a preset by passing -e NGINX_CONFIG_PRESET=[name] to docker run.

In addition to that we provide different volumes to overwrite the behavior of Nginx. In order to customize the behavior of Nginx you can inject configurations into the volume /etc/nginx/custom.d, this directory gets loaded by the server configuration directly.

⁠Default supervised processes:

• s6-svscan (as PID 1)
• nginx
• nginx-logs (log fifo)
• nginx-error-logs (log fifo)
• nginx-app-logs (log fifo)
• nginx-app-error-logs (log fifo)
