https:\/\/hub.docker.com\/_\/nginx<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nWe will execute the following command line:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
docker run -d -p 8080:80 --name web nginx<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
\ndocker run: Command to create a container from an image.<\/li>\n\n\n\n -d: Detached mode to run the container in the background. <\/li>\n\n\n\n -p 8080:80: Mapping port 80 (from the container) to port 8080 on the host machine.<\/li>\n\n\n\n –name web: Naming our container as “web”.<\/li>\n\n\n\n nginx: Name of the image used to create the container.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nAnd there you have it, you have just created your first container, that was quick! ^^<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your web server is up and running, you can access it from your browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNow, let’s take it a step further by hosting our HTML pages. We will simply customize the index.html page in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, we start by creating an index.html file in our favorite text editor (nano for me\u2026 Not getting into the debate\u2026).<\/p>\n\n\n\nI have created this index.html file in the \/tmp directory of my machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next, we will delete the container that we created earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
docker rm -f web<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nThe “-f” parameter allows us to force the deletion of our container because by default, we cannot delete an active container.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally, we execute the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
docker run -d -p 8080:80 --name web -v \/tmp:\/usr\/share\/nginx\/html nginx<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nBrief explanation of the new parameter: “-v \/tmp:\/usr\/share\/nginx\/html”:
Note: You need to refer to the nginx image page on Docker Hub to find out where nginx stores the HTML pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, if we access our web server again, it will return our customized page.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAnd there you have it, this article is just a taste of what can be done. There are several aspects to delve into (port mapping, volumes, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
