linuxserver/nginx

[][hub][][hub] [hub]: https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/nginx/

This Container is a simple nginx webserver configured with default and ssl, and all relevant config files moved out the user via /config for ultimate control. it contains some of the basic php-packages. and is built on our internal nginx baseimage.

[][nginxurl] [nginxurl]: https://nginx.org/

Usage

docker create \
--name=nginx \
-v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \
-v <path to data>:/config \
-e PGID=<gid> -e PUID=<uid>  \
-p 80:80 -p 443:443 \
linuxserver/nginx

Parameters

• -p 80 - The web-services.
• -p 443 - The SSL-Based Webservice
• -v /etc/localtime for timesync - optional
• -v /config - Contains you www content and all relevant configuration files.
• -e PGID for GroupID - see below for explanation
• -e PUID for UserID - see below for explanation

It is based on phusion-baseimage with ssh removed, for shell access whilst the container is running do docker exec -it nginx /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)

Setting up the application

Add your web files to /config/www for hosting.

Protip: This container is best combined with a sql server, e.g. mariadb
