nginx

This is the nginx web server. It runs in a similar fashion to our dns and ldap containers. It is designed primarly to serve static content that is obtained by cloning a git repo or mounted as a Docker volume over /var/www/html.

At this moment in time it offers no control over the nginx configuration.

Running it

docker run -d -p 80:80 \
    -e CONFIG_REPO=bitbucket.org/hpchud/config-repo-name.git \
    -e CONFIG_USER=hpchud
    -e CONFIG_PASS=<api key> \
    hpchud/nginx

Configuring

There are two options to provide the data for /var/www/html. You can either mount a Docker volume, or, provide a configuration repository through the environment. This repository is expected to have the following layout:

./www/
           <static web content>

On startup, this repository will be cloned using CONFIG_USER and CONFIG_PASS as the credentials. Whilst this image can be public, you don't want the configuration to be.

The files in www folder will be copied to /usr/share/nginx/html.
