Run this container as an independent service:

$/> docker run -d quay.io/wunder/fuzzy-alpine-nginx-pagespeed

map any needed services such as php-fpm and mount any source code volumes to whatever path needed:

$/> docker run -d \

      -l "my_running_fpm_container:fpm.app" \
      quay.io/wunder/fuzzy-alpine-nginx-pagespeed

TODO

• Create script for automatically diffing structure changes in mod_pagespeed which we have to manually build
  • diff -rq psol psol_from_container >> differences.txt
  • cat differences.txt | grep "Only in psol/"
• Inform the Google team we are using the tarballs to build for Alpine and they save a great deal of time
