Overview

This Docker container makes it easy to get an instance of Apache up and running.

Based on Official Apache Docker Image with some minor hack:

• Handle ENTRYPOINT with dumb-init
• Change User and Group to www-data
• Change DocumentRoot to /var/www/html
• Additional Apache modules:
  • actions
  • cache
  • cache_disk
  • deflate
  • expires
  • logio
  • mime_magic
  • negotiation
  • proxy
  • proxy_fcgi
  • proxy_http
  • remoteip
  • rewrite

Quick Start

For the VOLUME directory that is used to store the repository data (amongst other things) we recommend mounting a host directory as a data volume, or via a named volume if using a docker version >= 1.9.

Start Apache:

# Pull latest image
docker pull alvistack/httpd

# Run as detach
docker run \
    -itd \
    --name httpd \
    --publish 80:80 \
    --volume /var/www/html:/var/www/html \
    alvistack/httpd

Success. Apache is now available on port http://localhost.

Versioning

The latest tag matches the most recent version of this repository. Thus using alvistack/httpd:latest or alvistack/httpd will ensure you are running the most up to date version of this image.
