msrd0/nginx repository overview

⁠Super Lightweight nginx Image

docker run -v /srv/web:/static -p 8080:80 flashspys/nginx-static

This command exposes an nginx server on port 8080 which serves the folder /srv/web from the host.

The image is roughly half the size of the official nginx image and can only be used for static file serving.

⁠nginx-static via HTTPS

To serve your static files over HTTPS you must use another reverse proxy. We recommend træfik⁠ as a lightweight reverse proxy with docker integration. Do not even try to get HTTPS working with this image only, as it does not contain the nginx ssl module.
