starwitorg/httpd-git repository overview

⁠httpd with auto-update from GitHub

This image extends the official httpd image, installs git and cron, and runs a cron job that updates site content from a Git repository into the httpd DocumentRoot.

Files:

• Dockerfile — image definition
• update_site.sh — script the cron job runs to clone/pull and copy site files

Build (override repo/branch at build time if you like):

docker build --build-arg REPO=https://github.com/your/repo.git \
	--build-arg BRANCH=main -t httpd-git .

Run (map host port 8080 to container port 80):

docker run --rm -p 8080:80 httpd-git

Override repository or branch at runtime by passing environment variables:

docker run --rm -e REPO_URL=https://github.com/your/repo.git -e BRANCH=main -p 8080:80 httpd-git

Manual update (run the update script directly inside the image):

docker run --rm --entrypoint /usr/local/bin/update_site.sh httpd-git

Cron schedule:

• Default schedule is every 5 minutes (set in the Dockerfile via CRON_SCHEDULE). To change the schedule, edit the Dockerfile before building or modify /etc/cron.d/update_site in a running container.
