This is basically tail -f -- can't we run nginx the same way in Windows that we do in Linux to get it to stay in the foreground and log to stdout/stderr?

@tianon I googled hard, but I don't think there's an elegant way to symlink the logfiles to stdout/err devices on Windows (they just don't exist).
I agree that this solution is super lame. The only reason it would be acceptable is because nginx on Windows is experimental in the first place.

Can we run nginx.exe in nanoserver?

@StefanScherer It doesn't work currently, I tried. I'm guessing it uses 32bit APIs and relies on WoW. Someone should try to compile with 64-bit only toolchain for nanoserver.

ok, would be great for future versions of nginx.

I just had a look at http://nginx.org/en/docs/windows.html

Given that the facts outlined in http://nginx.org/en/docs/windows.html#known_issues still stand, I don't really get the idea of publishing it on docker. And yes, mainline version should be used, not the stable one. |
Opening this for discussion.
