⁠Notes

1. If you want the contained webserver to listen at port 80, be sure not to have a local webserver running and listening at the same port.

2. Nginx runs as a user called webserver. If you are mounting volumes please create a matching user on your host system using the following;

   $ sudo useradd webserver -u 666
