⁠Parameters

The parameters are split into two halves, separated by a colon, the left hand side representing the host and the right the container side. For example with a port -p external:internal - what this shows is the port mapping from internal to external of the container. So -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 http://192.168.x.x:8080 would show you what's running INSIDE the container on port 80.

• -p 80:80 - the port(s)
• -v /config - Data / Log / Conig directory
• -v /etc/localtime for timesync - see Localtime⁠ for important information
• -e TZ for timezone information, Europe/London - see Localtime⁠ for important information
• -e PGID for for GroupID - see below for explanation
• -e PUID for for UserID - see below for explanation

It is based on Ubuntu with s6 overlay, for shell access whilst the container is running do docker exec -it apache /bin/bash.

⁠Data and config and logs

• The Logs are created under <path_to_data>/log/apache directory
• Copy user site configurations (*.conf) under <path_to_data>/apache/site-confs directory
• Copy your web contents (Document root) under <path_to_data>/www directory

⁠Localtime

It is important that you either set -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro or the TZ variable, Container may throw exceptions without one of them set.

⁠User / Group Identifiers

Sometimes when using data volumes (-v flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container. We avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID. Ensure the data volume directory on the host is owned by the same user you specify and it will "just work" ™.

In this instance PUID=1001 and PGID=1001. To find yours use id user as below:

  $ id <dockeruser>
    uid=1001(dockeruser) gid=1001(dockergroup) groups=1001(dockergroup)

⁠Setting up the application

Access your webserver at <your-ip>:80.
