Docker Install Apache


Method 1: docker pull httpd

SearchDocker HubThe httpd image on Docker Hub:

You can use Sort by to view other versions of httpd; the default is the latest version.httpd:latest。

In addition, we can also use the docker search httpd command to view the available versions:

example@example:~/apache$ docker search httpd

...

Here we pull the official image.

example@example:~/apache$ docker pull httpd

After the download is complete, we can find the image with REPOSITORY httpd in the local image list.

example@example:~/apache$ docker images httpd
REPOSITORY     TAG        IMAGE ID        CREATED           SIZE
httpd          latest     da1536b4ef14    23 seconds ago    195.1 MB

Method 2: Build via Dockerfile

Create Dockerfile

First, create a directory apache to store related items for later.

example@example:~$ mkdir -p  ~/apache/www ~/apache/logs ~/apache/conf 

The www directory will be mapped to the application directory configured by the apache container.

The logs directory will be mapped to the log directory of the apache container.

The configuration files in the conf directory will be mapped to the configuration files of the apache container.

Enter the created apache directory and create a Dockerfile.

COPY httpd-foreground /usr/local/bin/

EXPOSE 80
CMD ["httpd-foreground"]

In the Dockerfile, the COPY httpd-foreground /usr/local/bin/ copies httpd-foreground from the current directory into the image as the startup script for the httpd service, so we need to create a script file httpd-foreground locally.

#!/bin/bash
set -e

# Apache gets grumpy about PID files pre-existing
rm -f /usr/local/apache2/logs/httpd.pid

exec httpd -DFOREGROUND

Grant execute permission to the httpd-foreground file.

example@example:~/apache$ chmod +x httpd-foreground

Create an image via a Dockerfile, and replace it with your own name.

example@example:~/apache$ docker build -t httpd .

After the creation is complete, we can find the just-created image in the local image list.

example@example:~/apache$ docker images httpd
REPOSITORY     TAG        IMAGE ID        CREATED           SIZE
httpd          latest     da1536b4ef14    23 seconds ago    195.1 MB

Use the apache image.

Run container

docker run -p 80:80 -v $PWD/www/:/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/ -v $PWD/conf/httpd.conf:/usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf -v $PWD/logs/:/usr/local/apache2/logs/ -d httpd

Command description:

-p 80:80:The first port 80 is the host port, while the latter is the container port, which maps the container's port 80 to the host's port 80.

-v $PWD/www/:/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/:Mount the www directory under the current directory on the host to /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/ in the container.

-v $PWD/conf/httpd.conf:/usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf:Mount the conf/httpd.conf file under the current directory on the host to /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf in the container.

-v $PWD/logs/:/usr/local/apache2/logs/:Mount the logs directory under the current directory on the host to /usr/local/apache2/logs/ in the container.

For more detailed commands, refer to:Docker run Command

Check the container startup status:

example@example:~/apache$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID  IMAGE   COMMAND             ... PORTS               NAMES
79a97f2aac37  httpd   "httpd-foreground"  ... 0.0.0.0:80->80/tcp  sharp_swanson
