⁠Barebones Apache in Lightweight Alpine Container

⁠Configuration

⁠Environment Variables

• INDEX_HTML_TEXT: default: undefined, Set to a text string to create the html of an index.html file. This is used to set up a simple site with just one landing page (no need to mount a volume to /www).

⁠Directories

• /www: Web-root. Mount volumes here to host a simple static site. Unnecessary for simple site using just INDEX_HTML_TEXT.

⁠CGI

To enable CGI do the following:

1. Use a volume-file mount to create a file in /etc/apache2/conf.d/enable-cgi.conf with the following contents: LoadModule cgi_module modules/mod_cgi.so
2. Then setup an .htaccess file in the directory containing the scripts, for example:

    Options +ExecCGI
    AddHandler cgi-script .cgi

1. Target CGI shell executables to operate in Alpine's /bin/sh environment
2. CGI executables should give executable permissions to 'o'ther (755) so that the container's apache user can execute it.
