Apache HTTP server Docker image

This image is generic, thus you can obviously re-use it within your non-related EEA projects.

• Debian: Buster
• Alpine: 3.13
• Apache: 2.4.58
• Expose: 80

NOTE: Debian Bullseye needs docker >= 18 in order to work. File permissions are not functional with older versions of docker. Use alpine version on hosts with older versions of docker.

Supported tags and respective Dockerfile links

• :latest Dockerfile - Debian: Buster, Apache: 2.4.58
• :alpine Dockerfile - Alpine: 3.13, Apache: 2.4.58

Usage

Run with Docker Compose

Here is a basic example of a docker-compose.yml file using the eeacms/apache docker image:

version: "2"
services:
  apache:
    image: eeacms/apache:latest
    ports:
    - "80:80"
    depends_on:
    - plone
    environment:
      APACHE_CONFIG: |-
        <VirtualHost *:80>
            ServerAdmin contact@localhost
            ServerName localhost
            ErrorLog /var/log/apache.log

            RewriteEngine On
            RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://plone:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/localhost:80/VirtualHostRoot/$$1 [P,L]
        </VirtualHost>
  plone:
    image: plone

Run it with Docker

$ docker run -it --rm -v conf.d/virtual-host.conf:/usr/local/apache2/conf/extra/vh-my-app.conf -p 80:80 eeacms/apache

• APACHE_INCLUDE Include extra config files, space separated (e.g. APACHE_INCLUDE=conf/extra/httpd-mpm.conf conf/extra/httpd-languages.conf)
• APACHE_CONFIG Provide entire Apache VH conf. Useful with docker-compose.yml
