Docker installs Nginx

Method one, built by Dockerfile

Create Dockerfile

First, create the directory nginx for later related things. 

w3cschool@w3cschool:~$ mkdir -p ~/nginx/www ~/nginx/logs ~/nginx/conf

The www directory maps to a virtual directory configured for the nginx container

The logs directory is mapped to the log directory of the nginx container

The profile in the conf directory is mapped to the profile of the nginx container

Go to the nginx directory you created and create Dockerfile

CMD ["nginx", "-g", "daemon off;"]

Create a mirror with Dockerfile and replace it with your own name 

docker build -t nginx .

Once the creation is complete, we can find the image we just created in the local mirror list 

w3cschool@w3cschool:~/nginx$ docker images nginx
REPOSITORY          TAG                 IMAGE ID            CREATED             SIZE

Method two, docker pull nginx

Here we pull the official mirror image 

w3cschool@w3cschool:~/nginx$ docker pull nginx

After waiting for the download to complete, we can find the REPOSITORY mirror as nginx in the local mirror list.

Use nginx mirroring

Run the container 

w3cschool@w3cschool:~/nginx$ docker run -p 80:80 --name mynginx -v $PWD/www:/www -v $PWD/conf/nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf -v $PWD/logs:/wwwlogs  -d nginx  
45c89fab0bf9ad643bc7ab571f3ccd65379b844498f54a7c8a4e7ca1dc3a2c1e
w3cschool@w3cschool:~/nginx$

Command Description:

  • -p 80:80: Map the container's 80 ports to the host's 80 ports

  • --name mynginx: Name the container mynginx

  • -v $PWD/www:/www: Mount the www under the current directory in the host to the container/www

  • -v $PWD/conf/nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf: Mount the nginx.conf in the current directory in the host to the container/etc/nginx/nginx.conf

  • -$PWD/logs:/wwwlogs: Mount the logs in the current directory in the host to the container/wwwlogs
