Docker alpine NGINX image for serving static files

Serve static pages with nginx via docker

Building an image

static-nginx $ docker build -t static-nginx .

Running a container

$ docker run -d -p 8000:80 -v $(pwd)/src:/www --name static static-nginx

1. Use any port you wish, in this example I used a 8000.
2. Mount you static files from ./src directory to /www directory into the container

Watch access logs

$ docker exec -it static tail -f /etc/nginx/logs/static.log
