A simple Nginx image for Docker to serve static websites. It will serve anything in the directory /var/www.

You'll need to use a Dockerfile to build an image with your site in it. For example, if your site is in a directory called src/, you could create this Dockerfile:

FROM orchardup/nginx
ADD src/ /var/www
CMD 'nginx'

Then build and run it:

$ docker build -t mysite .
...
Successfully built 5ae2fb5cf4f8
$ docker run -p 80:80 -d mysite
da809981545f
$ curl localhost
...

To use SSL, put your certs in /etc/nginx/ssl and enable the default-ssl site:

ADD server.crt /etc/nginx/ssl/
ADD server.key /etc/nginx/ssl/
RUN ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/default-ssl /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default-ssl
