The LinuxServer.io team brings you another container release featuring easy user mapping and community support. Find us for support at:
- forum.linuxserver.io
- IRC on freenode at
#linuxserver.io
- Podcast covers everything to do with getting the most from your Linux Server plus a focus on all things Docker and containerisation!
This Container is a simple nginx webserver configured with default and ssl, and all relevant config files moved out the user via /config for ultimate control. it contains some of the basic php-packages. and is built on our internal nginx baseimage.
docker create \
--name=nginx \
-v <path to data>:/config \
-e PGID=<gid> -e PUID=<uid> \
-p 80:80 -p 443:443 \
-e TZ=<timezone> \
linuxserver/nginx
The parameters are split into two halves, separated by a colon, the left hand side representing the host and the right the container side. For example with a port -p external:internal - what this shows is the port mapping from internal to external of the container. So -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 http://192.168.x.x:8080 would show you what's running INSIDE the container on port 80.
-p 80
- The web-services.-p 443
- The SSL-Based Webservice-v /config
- Contains your www content and all relevant configuration files.-e PGID
for GroupID - see below for explanation-e PUID
for UserID - see below for explanation-e TZ
- timezone ie.America/New_York
It is based on alpine linux with s6 overlay, for shell access whilst the container is running do docker exec -it nginx /bin/bash
.
Sometimes when using data volumes (-v
flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container. We avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID
and group PGID
. Ensure the data volume directory on the host is owned by the same user you specify and it will "just work" ™.
In this instance PUID=1001
and PGID=1001
. To find yours use id user
as below:
$ id <dockeruser>
uid=1001(dockeruser) gid=1001(dockergroup) groups=1001(dockergroup)
Add your web files to /config/www for hosting.
Protip: This container is best combined with a sql server, e.g. mariadb
-
To monitor the logs of the container in realtime
docker logs -f nginx
. -
container version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' nginx
- image version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' linuxserver/nginx
