This is a simple nginx installation running on Alpine Linux. It utilizes the official nginx:1.14-alpine release and updates the configuration, setting /var/www/app/webroot as the document root. It also sets up the fast-cgi configuration to pass php requests to a container at the following URL: php-fpm:9000. See below for more details.
This image is created to enhance my own workflow. You are more than welcome to use it, if you are interested.
To use this image in your own Dockerfiles, add it to your FROM statement:
FROM jkilbride/nginx-alpine
I have customized the shell by adding aliases.sh to the /etc/profile.d directory and enabling the color_prompt.sh file. Be aware that I prefer vi keybindings. If you prefer the default emacs keybindings, type set -o emacs at the command prompt.
This image is designed to work with my php-fpm image: jkilbride/php-fpm-alpine. To run these two images together, download the docker-compose.yml file from my repo and type docker-compose up -d. Then point your web browser to http://[your-docker-host]:8080/info.php. You should see the output of the phpinfo() command. See the Docker documentation on docker-compose for more info.
For a more interesting example, you can inject your own codebase into the /var/www/app/webroot directory of the php-fpm-alpine image using a bind mount or a data volume. See the Docker documentation on volumes for more info. This is meant to be a simple example of connecting nginx and php-fpm on alpine, and can be used as the starting point for much more complex environments.
As Alpine Linux uses musl, you may run into some issues with environments expecting glibc-like behaviour (for example, Kubernetes). Some of these issues are documented here:
