Docker Assignments #7: Docker, Nginx and index.html

1. Create a folder name it as "docker-nginx"
2. Create a file with name “index.html”  under “docker-nginx” folder
3. Add <p></p> tag with sample text in index.html file
4. Pull nginx:alpine docker image into host machine
5. Write docker run command by setting following options

• enable detached mode
• set container name as "helloworldnginx"
• set container working directory i.e. /usr/share/nginx/html
• do bind mount of “docker-nginx” folder from host machine to container /usr/share/nginx/html folder 
• map host port number to 8200

       6. Go to http://localhost:8200 from host machine to verify index.html 
       

 Command:

> docker run -d -p 8200:80

   --name helloworldnginx 

   --mount type=bind,source=/c/Users/rama/docker-nginx,target=/usr/share/nginx/html

   nginx:alpine  (or)

 > docker run  -d  -p 8200:80

   --name helloworldnginx 

   --mount type=bind,source=$(pwd),target=/usr/share/nginx/html 

   nginx:alpine  

(i.e. pwd should be docker-nginx folder)

• -d  --> used to run container in detached/background mode
• -p 8200:80  --> map host port number 8200 to container port 80 ( i.e. nginx expose port 80 by default )
• /usr/share/nginx/html --> nginx default site enabled folder

Note : https://github.com/nginxinc/NGINX-Demos is a official nginx git repo and has awesome demos 

Happy Coding :)
