hidgweb/docker-lighttpd repository overview

⁠lighttpd base image

This is a simple lighttpd + alpine image that:

• Outputs data to stderr / console
• Does not use root
• Reads config files from /etc/lighttpd/conf.d/*conf
• Has a default "it works" page
• Assumes that web docs are under /var/www, changeable via the base config file
• Uses port 8000 by default, but that is changeable in the base config file

⁠The base configuration

The default settings should work for many cases, but can be overwritten by mounting a different base config file. That should be mounted on /etc/lighttpd/conf.d/000-base.conf.

This image ships with this 000-base.conf file:

# {{{ mod_status
server.modules += ( "mod_status" )
status.status-url = "/server-status"
status.config-url = "/server-config"
# }}}

# {{{ basic config
server.document-root = "/var/www/html"
server.port = 8000
# }}}

⁠Running the image

At a minimum, docker run --rm -ti -p 8000:8000 hidgweb/lighttpd will get your container started, then if you visit http://localhost:8000 you should see something like this:
