🏔️ Alpine - Nginx

Nginx base image with additional plugins and custom compiled

SYNOPSIS

What can I do with this? This image will serve as a base for nginx related images that need a high-performance webserver. It can also be used stand alone as a webserver or reverse proxy. It will automatically reload on config changes if configured.

VOLUMES

• /nginx/etc - Directory of vHost config, must end in *.conf (set in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf)
• /nginx/var - Directory of webroot for vHost
• /nginx/ssl - Directory of SSL certificates
