nginx

A simple container running nginx and incron with s6-overlay supervisor. Incron handles filesystem events to reload nginx service automatically when changes are occured in nginx configuration files.

See s6-overlay wiki and inotify for more explanations.

Usage

To put out the configuration of nginx, map the directory /etc/nginx or /etc/nginx/sites-enabled like that :

docker run --net host --name nginx -dt \
    -v /etc/nginx/sites-enabled:/etc/nginx/sites-enabled \
    -v /var/log/nginx:/var/log/nginx \
    -v /var/www/:/var/www \
    -p 80:80 \
    -p 443:443 \
    rinscy/nginx:1.1.2

You can choose the alpine version rinscy/nginx:alpine-1.1.2 if you want a much lighter docker image.

If you set up a website inside a docker container which mount the /var/www directory as a shared volume, this nginx container will work in condition that your container holding your website was started with --volumes-from nginx.
