Run Docker Container Using Nginx

Hi there,

Here we are going to build a Docker image using Nginx and deploy one HTML page on the local host.

Creation of Html File

first we need to create one folder with name myproject

mkdir myproject

in that folder we create vim file with name index.html

vim index.html

now we create html file that we want after deploy the project

COPY
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Welcome to nginx!</title>
    <style>
      body {
        width: 35em;
        margin: 0 auto;
        margin-top: 200px;
        font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;
      }
      button {
        border: 2px solid #1da1f2;
        border-radius: 5px;
        background-color: white;
        color: #1da1f2;
        padding: 5px 10px;
        text-align: center;
        font-size: 20px;
        margin: 5px 15px;
        cursor: pointer;
      }
    </style>
  </head>

Now we create Docker file

in the same folder, myproject, create one more file, which is the Docker file

vim Dockerfile

##write the given command

FROM ubuntu
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install -y nginx
COPY index.html /var/www/html
CMD ["nginx", "-g", "daemon off;"]

• Here we are fetching ubuntu image and then installing nginx over it. Ubuntu image provides access to /bin/bash as well.

• COPY command is copying the index.html file present in the current directory to the default web page of nginx.

• CMD is the command to start the nginx server in the foreground.

Build docker file

docker build -t mynginx

Running on the server

docker run -d -p  8081:80 mynginx

Now just open the port 8081 from you ec2 - security- security inbound role-add port 8081 so we can connect that container on 8081 port and save it,

Now copy public ip of your ec2 instance and open in new tab and suffix it :8081 and hit the enter you will see below page
