uilicious/nginx repository overview

⁠Summary

This repository contains a collection of "Dockerfile" for their respective automated build in Docker hub, found at https://hub.docker.com/u/uilicious/⁠

⁠Issue filling

Any problems / comments / kudos should be filed at github =) https://github.com/uilicious/uilicious-dockerfile⁠

---

⁠Organized Dockerfile

See their respective README for more details. These Dockerfile, typically represents various iterations, of all my SysAdmin / DevOps docker experiences. Refined for multiple use cases.

@TODO : fill up description and links

⁠Some general guidelines / conventions

• For application servers, Follow the standard environment setup as specified inside (base/README)[https://github.com/picoded/dockerfiles/tree/master/base⁠]

  • Or extend from it =]

• For everthing else priotise according to the following : Offical repo, alpine, busybox, debian, alpine-base, ubuntu-base

• When adding entrypoint scripts, inside the dockerfile link to their respective file directly

• Have a sane default for everything (if possible).

  • I want things to be deployable without configuration
  • Exception is for databases, or similar integration

• Avoid defining a volume directory in dockerfile, this makes the docker container much harder to extend due to known file modification issues after a VOL command.

  • instead document the respective volume directory mount points in its README.md
  • also : with known usage patterns of kubernetes / rancher / etc - the VOL directive has no known use case other then documentation
  • for bug details : https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/12779⁠
  • and : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26145351/why-doesnt-chown-work-in-dockerfile⁠

⁠License

MIT License

This is an obvious choice due to the highly public nature of these Docker repo's and how easy, or commonly the scripts can be replicated.

For most of the Dockerfiles, I wager that someone out there has something similar.

Hopefully mine is better, Cheers!
