docker-nginx

1. Create a new docker file

   FROM martin/nginx

2. Place nginx site config file in directory ./conf, these will be placed in /etc/nginx/conf.d/. the config file should have server root set to /app/ root /app/;

3. Place html files in directory "./app", this will be your main site

4. docker build -t mynew/nginx .

5. docker run -d mynew/nginx

Config files may contain environment variables in the form of $ENV{"environmentvariablename"}. These will be replaced when the container starts. So if you link another container docker run -d --link myservicecontainer mynew/nginx

server {
        listen 80;
        root /app/;
        index index.html;
        
        location /myservice {
                proxy_pass      http://myservice_backend;
        }
      
}

upstream myservice_backend {
        server myservicecontainer:$ENV{"MYSERVICECONTAINER_PORT_1234_TCP_PORT"};
        keepalive 4;
}
