smebberson/nginx-nodejs repository overview

⁠nginx & nodejs

An image for using both Nginx and Node.js within the same container. This is a combination of [smebberson/nginx][smebbersonnginx] and smebberson/nodejs⁠.

What's the use case for such a container?

My scenario:

• nginx serves my static files
• nginx also proxies to my web-application (in another container)
• nodejs listens for changes to the web-application container and reconfigures and restarts nginx

⁠Usage

To use this image include FROM smebberson/nodejs at the top of your Dockerfile.

From there you can:

• configure nginx as required
• include nodejs application
• write an s6 run script for your nodejs application, for example:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# cd into our directory
cd /app

# start our node.js application
exec node server.js;
