Simple local Nginx

It’s preety simple to run a local Nginx web server for test purposes.

First of all we need to pull the Nginx docker image

Copy 
1docker pull nginx

Now we can run it:

Copy 
1docker run \
2--name blog-nginx \
3-p 80:80 \
4-v ~/Git/blog/dist/:/usr/share/nginx/html:ro \
5-d nginx

Here we specify port forwarding with the -p option and mount the web directory for Nginx through the -v option.

That’s it, now we have a running Nginx that serves our content.
