Task is simple - Just host the simple index.html page with nginx webserver, reconfigure it to reflect new changes successfully.

  • require nginx package: docker pull nginx
  • run it on port 8080: docker run -d -p 8080:80 nginx
  • configure it and successfully deploy changes.
Todo:
  • Run Nginx container
  • Successfully navigate to http://localhost:5003
  • change configuration and reload the service
  • successfully run our page on browser
Steps:
1. Build an Image

Make a project Directory: mkdir nginx-project add Dockerfile with following content in it: vim Dockerfile

FROM docker.io/nginx:stable-alpine
RUN rm -rf /usr/share/nginx/html/*
COPY ./dist/app /usr/share/nginx/html

In the same directory make a directory tree dist/app mkdir -p dist/app

and put index.html dummy file in it: vim dist/app/index.html

put any html content on it like this:

<h1> Yoohoo, It working</h1>
<h2> Finally Sigh of relief </h2>

Finally Build image: docker build -t nginx:latest .

run your docker image: docker run -d -p 8080:80 nginx

2. Entering into the container:

Now to edit things get into your container docker exec -it <id> /bin/sh

make any changes in your /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

validate configuration: nginx -t

If you seeing message like this without any error this means everything is okay.

nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful

To apply configuration use: nginx -s reload

If you see your changes took place and everything working well good job!
