A Static Site using Docker and Nginx
This repo contains code for building a simple static website served using an Nginx container inside Docker. The code for the site is contained in index.html, and the Nginx config is in default.conf. The Dockerfile contains commands to build a Docker Image.
To build a Docker image from the Dockerfile, run the following command from inside this directory
$ docker build -t <docker-hub-username>/staticsite:1.0 .
This will produce the following output
Sending build context to Docker daemon 81.41 kB

To run the image in a Docker container, use the following command
$ docker run -itd --name mycontainer --publish 8080:80 <docker-hub-username>/staticsite:1.0
This will start serving the static site on port 8080. If you visit http://localhost:8080 in your browser, you should be able to see our static site!
