This Dockerfile will build a container running nginx and php-fpm on debian using the debian style sites-available/sites-enabled. The Dockerfile is largely built on the file from ngineerd on github, which can be found here https://github.com/ngineered/nginx-php-fpm
The source can be found here https://github.com/jimmikristensen/nginx-php-fpm-debian
The image can be found in the docker hub registry https://hub.docker.com/r/picster/nginx-php-fpm-debian/
- Nginx: nginx/1.6.2
- PHP: 5.6.17-0+deb8u1
- Debian: GNU/Linux 8 (Jessie)
To start the container, run:
sudo docker run --name nginx -p 80:80 -d picster/nginx-php-fpm-debian
Access the site here http://<DOCKER_HOST>. The default site will be shown, which is a page displaying phpinfo();.
Sometimes its desirable to mount certain directories to your docker host to create a permanent storage to to be able to manipulate files within the container. E.g. if you want to host multiple websites on a single container.
If you want to be able to upload new files to your website, mount the html dir /usr/share/nginx/html.
If you want to be able to be able to run multiple websites in a single container, mount the /etc/nginx/sites-available and /etc/nginx/sites-enabled.
The command for doing this:
sudo docker run --name nginx -p 80:80 -v /local-dir-on-host:/usr/share/nginx/html -v /local-dir-on-host:/etc/nginx/sites-available -v /local-dir-on-host:/etc/nginx/sites-enabled -d picster/nginx-php-fpm-debian
Please not that when creating the config symlink from sites-available to sites-enabled on the host, you should not use the absolute path but the relative path in order to keep the internal linking, i.e. standing i the sites-enabled dir on the host, you should do:
ln -s ../sites-available/myconfig myconfig
All access logs and error logs will be forwarded to docker log collector, which means you will be able to see the errors and access log using:
sudo docker logs <CONTAINER_ID>
