Docker Containerized Website

Containerizing my static website using Docker.

I used an nginx:alpine base image, removed the default html file served in this image at location /usr/share/nginx/html (my workdir) and copied my html and css files in this working dir to serve my static website.

I then built my website image using the above Dockerfile by running this command:

docker build -t rocketman02/my-website:v1 . 

Then ran a container from this image to serve my custom website:

docker run --name my-website -p 8012:80 rocketman02/my-website:v1

My website was successfully running at http://localhost:8012/
