This repository contains a Dockerfile to build an Apache server image and instructions on how to run it using Docker.

• An AWS account to create an EC2 instance.
• Docker installed on your local machine. You can download Docker from https://www.docker.com/.
• AWS CLI installed on your local machine. You can download it from https://aws.amazon.com/cli/.

1. Open the AWS Management Console and navigate to the EC2 Dashboard.

2. Click on "Launch Instance" to create a new EC2 instance.

3. Follow the steps in the EC2 instance launch wizard, selecting an Amazon Machine Image (AMI), choosing an instance type, configuring instance details, adding storage, configuring security groups, and reviewing.

4. In the "Configure Security Group" step, make sure to add a rule to allow incoming traffic on port 80 (HTTP).

5. Launch the instance and download the key pair.

6. Connect to your EC2 instance using SSH:

   ssh -i your-key-pair.pem ec2-user@your-instance-ip

   Replace your-key-pair.pem with the path to your key pair file and your-instance-ip with your EC2 instance's public IP address.

1. Update the package list:

   sudo yum update -y

2. Install Docker:

   sudo amazon-linux-extras install docker
   sudo service docker start
   sudo usermod -a -G docker ec2-user

   Note: You may need to re-login or run su - ec2-user to apply the group changes.

docker pull httpd

This command pulls the official Apache HTTP Server Docker image from Docker Hub.

docker run -d --name apache -p 80:80 httpd

• -d: Run the container in the background.
• --name apache: Assign the name "apache" to the container.
• -p 80:80: Map port 80 on the host to port 80 on the container.
• httpd: The name of the Docker image.

Open your web browser and navigate to your EC2 instance's public IP address:

http://your-instance-ip

For example, if your instance's IP address is 54.123.456.789, access the Apache server by navigating to http://54.123.456.789 in your web browser.

docker stop apache
docker rm apache

Replace apache with the name you assigned to your container.
