To pull the image
docker pull gokaygurcan/nginx
To run an NGINX container
# clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/gokaygurcan/dockerfile-nginx.git
# cd into it
cd dockerfile-nginx
# run nginx with the default configurations
docker run --rm -d --name nginx -p 80:80 -p 443:443 \
-v `pwd`/docker/etc/nginx:/etc/nginx \
gokaygurcan/nginx
# see if cURL returns anything good
curl -i http://localhost
To use GeoIP, you need to download City and/or Country databases from MaxMind. The best way to do it is to use their Docker container.
# create a volume for persistency
docker volume create usr-share-geoip
# download geoip databases
docker run --rm --name geoipupdate \
-v usr-share-geoip:/usr/share/GeoIP \
-e GEOIPUPDATE_FREQUENCY=0 \
-e GEOIPUPDATE_ACCOUNT_ID='<your account id>' \
-e GEOIPUPDATE_LICENSE_KEY='<your license key>' \
-e GEOIPUPDATE_EDITION_IDS='GeoLite2-City GeoLite2-Country' \
maxmindinc/geoipupdate
# you can start nginx with this additional volume now
docker run --rm -d --name nginx -p 80:80 -p 443:443 \
-v `pwd`/docker/etc/nginx:/etc/nginx \
-v usr-share-geoip:/usr/share/GeoIP \
