saghul/nginx-webdav repository overview

⁠saghul/nginx-webdav

This Container is a simple nginx webserver configured for WebDAV access, and all relevant config files moved out the user via /config for ultimate control.

⁠Usage

docker create \
--name=nginx-webdav \
-v <path to config>:/config \
-v <path to data>:/data \
-e PGID=<gid> -e PUID=<uid>  \
-p 80:80 \
-e TZ=<timezone> \
saghul/nginx-webdav

⁠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 - The web-services.
• -v /config - Contains all relevant configuration files.
• -v /data - Contains all files which will be shared with WebDAV.
• -e PGID for GroupID - see below for explanation
• -e PUID for UserID - see below for explanation
• -e TZ - timezone ie. America/New_York

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

⁠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)
