Docker Desktop
Realizing I didn’t really remember my setup for my raspberry pi instance and the fact that I didn’t have a sandbox install, I decided to test it out locally… And since the laptop got repaired, I didn’t have Docker installed anymore. So I installed the latest version: [[Docker Desktop]]@4.12.0. Didn’t bother with a docker.com account, although I should have one. I’m also doing this for purely edutainment purposes so no licensing!
Ran through the built in tutorial. Useful refresher and highly recommended.
Using the default Image:
Most basic install run it with a name of `some-nginx`, pulling the default `nginx` image… doesn’t actually do anything. It’s running, but not listening so you can’t use it.
```console $ docker run --name some-nginx -d nginx ```
-p 80:80 now maps port 80 to expose it.
```console $ docker run --name some-nginx -p 80:80 -d nginx ```
Success! Serving up some content at `http://localhost/`
Map custom content
Of course, that’s the default content. So let’s create a ‘content’ directory and serve up our own content – good refresher on volumes.
Their example maps `/some/content` to the doc root for nginx: `/usr/share/nginx/html`
```console $ docker run --name some-nginx -v /some/content:/usr/share/nginx/html:ro -d nginx ```
So let’s create a file:
```console $ mkdir content $ cd content $ cat >> index.html <html> <head> <title> Secure BFFs TEst</title> </head> <body> <h1> Secure BFFs Test </h1> Hello wrold! </html> ^D $ cd .. ```
This creates an `index.html` file under the `content` directory. Now let’s map it into the index:
```console $ docker run --name some-nginx -v content:/usr/share/nginx/html:ro -p 80:80 -d nginx ```
Whoops, what happened? Same output?
Path needs to be full qualified!
```console $ docker run --name some-nginx -v /Users/jlin/projects/https/content:/usr/share/nginx/html:ro -d -p 80:80 nginx ```
Success!
Conclusion
You now have a local docker instance running a fetched `nginx` instance serving up your own custom content!
