Raspberry Pi - lighttpd Docker image

This is a fork of sebp/lighttpd (https://github.com/spujadas/lighttpd-docker) to make this docker image of a lighttpd server running on a raspberry pi. Alpine is used as a base image to ensure the smallest docker image size possible.

Security, speed, compliance, and flexibility -- all of these describe lighttpd

Usage

In the instructions that follow, replace <home-directory> with the path of the local directory you want to serve content from, and <http-port> with the HTTP port you want the HTTP server to serve content to (e.g. 80 for the standard HTTP port if not already in use on the host).

Start a container with Docker

$ sudo docker run --rm -t -v <home-directory>:/var/www/localhost/htdocs -p <http-port>:80 dastrasmue/rpi-lighttpd:v2

Start a container with Docker Compose

Add the following lines in an existing or a new docker-compose.yml file:

lighttpd:
  image: dastrasmue/rpi-lighttpd:v2
  volumes:
    - <home-directory>:/var/www/localhost/htdocs
  ports:
    - "<http-port>:80"

Then start a lighttpd container with:

$ sudo docker-compose up

Build

First clone or download the dastrasmue/rpi-lighttpd GitHub repository, open a shell in the newly created rpi-lighttpd directory, then build the image and run a container using Docker or Docker Compose, as explained below.

Build with Docker

This command will build the image:

$ sudo docker build .

Build with Docker Compose

Build the image with this command:

$ sudo docker-compose build
