icj217/hv-sysops-nginx repository overview

⁠Introduction

This docker container starts an nginx server that serves up the content of the /var/www directory.

The server configuration changes dynamically based on the value of the ENVIRON environment variable.

See below for details.

⁠Running

The docker image can be run using docker run or Docker Compose.

Using Docker Compose can be helpful if you need to specify numerous environment variables/volume mounts and/or if you are using this container within a multi-service project.

⁠Environment

To run the image, pass an ENVIRON environment variable into the container, e.g. docker run -p 8080:80 -e "ENVIRON=dev" icj217/hv-sysops-nginx:latest

The following are valid ENVIRON values: dev, prod

There is no default value for this environment variable to limit the chance of accidental misconfiguration.

⁠Content

To override the default content served by nginx, simply mount a volume over the /var/www/ directory, e.g. docker run -p 8080:80 --volume=/my/local/content:/var/www -e "ENVIRON=dev" icj217/hv-sysops-nginx:latest
