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 NAME DESCRIPTION STARS OFFICIAL AUTOMATED httpd The Apache HTTP Server .. 524 [OK] centos/httpd 7 [OK] rgielen/httpd-image-php5 Docker image for Apache... 1 [OK] microwebapps/httpd-frontend Httpd frontend allowing... 1 [OK] lolhens/httpd Apache httpd 2 Server 1 [OK] publici/httpd httpd:latest 0 [OK] publicisworldwide/httpd The Apache httpd webser... 0 [OK] rgielen/httpd-image-simple Docker image for simple... 0 [OK] solsson/httpd Derivatives of the offi... 0 [OK] rgielen/httpd-image-drush Apache HTTPD + Drupal S... 0 [OK] learninglayers/httpd 0 [OK] sohrabkhan/httpd Docker httpd + php5.6 (... 0 [OK] aintohvri/docker-httpd Apache HTTPD Docker ext... 0 [OK] alizarion/httpd httpd on centos with mo... 0 [OK] ...
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.

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.
FROM debian:jessie # add our user and group first to make sure their IDs get assigned consistently, regardless of whatever dependencies get added #RUN groupadd -r www-data && useradd -r --create-home -g www-data www-data ENV HTTPD_PREFIX /usr/local/apache2 ENV PATH $PATH:$HTTPD_PREFIX/bin RUN mkdir -p "$HTTPD_PREFIX" \ && chown www-data:www-data "$HTTPD_PREFIX" WORKDIR $HTTPD_PREFIX # install httpd runtime dependencies # https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/install.html#requirements RUN apt-get update \ && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \ libapr1 \ libaprutil1 \ libaprutil1-ldap \ libapr1-dev \ libaprutil1-dev \ libpcre++0 \ libssl1.0.0 \ && rm -r /var/lib/apt/lists/* ENV HTTPD_VERSION 2.4.20 ENV HTTPD_BZ2_URL https://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/httpd-$HTTPD_VERSION.tar.bz2 RUN buildDeps=' \ ca-certificates \ curl \ bzip2 \ gcc \ libpcre++-dev \ libssl-dev \ make \ ' \ set -x \ && apt-get update \ && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends $buildDeps \ && rm -r /var/lib/apt/lists/* \ \ && curl -fSL "$HTTPD_BZ2_URL" -o httpd.tar.bz2 \ && curl -fSL "$HTTPD_BZ2_URL.asc" -o httpd.tar.bz2.asc \ # see https://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi#verify && export GNUPGHOME="$(mktemp -d)" \ && gpg --keyserver ha.pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys A93D62ECC3C8EA12DB220EC934EA76E6791485A8 \ && gpg --batch --verify httpd.tar.bz2.asc httpd.tar.bz2 \ && rm -r "$GNUPGHOME" httpd.tar.bz2.asc \ \ && mkdir -p src \ && tar -xvf httpd.tar.bz2 -C src --strip-components=1 \ && rm httpd.tar.bz2 \ && cd src \ \ && ./configure \ --prefix="$HTTPD_PREFIX" \ --enable-mods-shared=reallyall \ && make -j"$(nproc)" \ && make install \ \ && cd .. \ && rm -r src \ \ && sed -ri \ -e 's!^(\s*CustomLog)\s+\S+!\1 /proc/self/fd/1!g' \ -e 's!^(\s*ErrorLog)\s+\S+!\1 /proc/self/fd/2!g' \ "$HTTPD_PREFIX/conf/httpd.conf" \ \ && apt-get purge -y --auto-remove $buildDeps COPY httpd-foreground /usr/local/bin/ EXPOSE 80 CMD ["httpd-foreground"]
In the Dockerfile, the COPY httpd-foreground /usr/local/bin/ copies httpd-foreground from the current directory into the image as the startup script for the httpd service, so we need to create a script file httpd-foreground locally.
#!/bin/bash set -e # Apache gets grumpy about PID files pre-existing rm -f /usr/local/apache2/logs/httpd.pid exec httpd -DFOREGROUND
Grant execute permission to the httpd-foreground file.
example@example:~/apache$ 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
