Raw file

Requirements

• Linux host
• Docker installed and running
• root privileges or sudo
• Ports 80 and 443 available
• /data writable on the host

Best for

• Bring up a basic Nginx container on a Docker-ready host
• Prepare a reusable /data/nginx layout for static content or reverse proxy rules
• Standardize a simple web entrypoint across multiple servers with one reviewed command

Highlights

• Creates /data/nginx/html, conf.d, logs, and a baseline nginx.conf automatically
• Pulls nginx:1.22.1 and runs it as a restartable container
• Preserves editable config and site content on the host instead of inside the container
• Adds a simple /healthz endpoint and placeholder index page by default

Recommended procedure

1. Confirm Docker is already installed and the host can use ports 80 and 443.
2. Run the helper.sh command with sudo or as root.
3. Let the script prepare /data/nginx, pull nginx:1.22.1, and recreate the container if it already exists.
4. Edit files under /data/nginx/conf.d or /data/nginx/html, then reload or restart the container when needed.
