Is it possible to create a volume that is a file, not a directory?
I am trying to make a simple structured nginx instance with docker. Using this command below to create the container...
docker container create -v ./nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/nginx.conf -v .:/app/ -p 80:80 docker.io/nginx
And this is the file structure of it...
- www
-------------- public
---------------------------- index.html
- nginx.conf
And this is the nginx.conf
server {
server_name localhost;
listen 80;
root /app/www/public;
index index.html index.htm;
autoindex on;
}
However the index.html will not work when I go to the localhost.
When I change the docker command to this it does work however, but this will also mirror all of the files and folder from my file structure into the containers /etc/nginx/conf.d/ directory
docker container create -v .:/etc/nginx/conf.d/ -v .:/app/ -p 80:80 docker.io/nginx
Use the absolute path to the file instead of a relative path.
best way:
$(pwd)/ngnix.conf:<container path>When I change the path to this...
docker container create --name nginx -v $(pwd)/nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/nginx.conf -v $(pwd):/app/ -p 80:80 docker.io/nginxIt does not seem to make a difference since when I go to localhost in my browser, I am still greeted with the "Welcome to nginx!" page.
