track_risk

Channel Tag shows the most stable channel for that track. A track is a combination of both the application version and the underlying Ubuntu series, eg 1.0-22.04. Channels are ordered from the most stable to the least stable, candidate, beta, edge. More risky channels are always implicitly available. So if beta is listed, you can also pull edge. If candidate is listed, you can pull beta and edge. When stable is listed, all four are available. Images are guaranteed to progress through the sequence edge, beta, candidate before stable.

Commercial use and Extended Security Maintenance channels

If your usage includes commercial redistribution or requires unavailable channels/versions, please get in touch with the Canonical team (or using rocks@canonical.com).

Usage

Launch this image locally:

docker run -d --name apache2-container -e TZ=UTC -p 8080:80 ubuntu/apache2:2.4-22.04_beta

Access your Apache2 server at http://localhost:8080.

Parameters

ParameterDescription
-e TZ=UTCTimezone.
-p 8080:80Expose Apache2 on localhost:8080.
-v /local/path/to/website:/var/www/htmlMount and serve a local website.
-v /path/to/apache2.conf:/etc/apache2/apache2.confLocal configuration fileapache2.conf (try this example).

Testing/Debugging

To debug the container:

docker logs -f apache2-container

To get an interactive shell:

docker exec -it apache2-container /bin/bash

Deploy with Kubernetes

Works with any Kubernetes; if you don't have one, we recommend you install MicroK8s and microk8s.enable dns storage then snap alias microk8s.kubectl kubectl.

Download apache2.conf, index.html and apache2-deployment.yml and set containers.apache2.image in apache2-deployment.yml to your chosen channel tag (e.g. ubuntu/apache2:2.4-22.04_beta), then:

kubectl create configmap apache2-config --from-file=apache2=apache2.conf --from-file=apache2-site=index.html
kubectl apply -f apache2-deployment.yml

You will now be able to connect to the apache2 server on http://localhost:30080.
