Creating a nginx website with the help of Dockerfile
- A simple Docker file for image creation
- Usage of Alpine OS as base image to reduce the size of image that built.
- Need to have Docker installed in your machine
- Need to have Git insalled in your machine
- Dccker installation
- Alternatively from the above, you can use pre-installed [Docker Teaminal]((https://labs.play-with-docker.com/) (For the easy access to configured Docker environment especially for begineers)
- Git insallation
Steps:
yum insall docker -y
systemctl start docker
yum install git -y
git clone https://github.com/vyjith/simple_nginx_website
cd simple_nginx_website
docker build -t <your_name_image:tag> .
#eg: docker build -t simple_nginx:10 .
docker image ls <-------------------------------------------------- image will list here
docker run --rm -d -p 8080:80 simple_nginx:10 <-------------------------------------------------- Here we are running the image on port 8080
command line exaplation of docker run command
--rm Automatically remove the container when it exits
-p, --publish list Publish a container's port(s) to the host
-d, --detach Run container in background and print container IDPlease find the below screenshot of the Docker building an image.
You can see that the below docker images (docker image ls)
creating a container from the image simple_nginx:10
# Dockerfile
FROM nginx:alpine <-------------------------------------------------- Base image
WORKDIR /usr/share/nginx/html <-------------------------------------------------- Image working directory
COPY . /usr/share/nginx/html/ <-------------------------------------------------- Copying the index.hmtl file to the Working directory
The intention of this Repository is to create awareness about the Dockerfile and the usage of containerization.
