linuxserver/apache repository overview

The LinuxServer.io⁠ team brings you another container release featuring easy user mapping and community support. Find us for support at:

• forum.linuxserver.io⁠
• IRC⁠ on freenode at #linuxserver.io
• Podcast⁠ covers everything to do with getting the most from your Linux Server plus a focus on all things Docker and containerisation!

⁠DEPRECATED, NO LONGER MAINTAINED AND/OR REFRESHED

⁠linuxserver/apache

This is an apache web server docker with reverse proxy services enabled. Reverse proxy gives the ability going to www.domain.com:8351⁠ for a service, you can go direct to www.domain.com/service⁠ and also enable HTTPS.

⁠Usage

docker create \
--name="apache" \
-p 80:80 -p 443:443 \
-v /path/to/config:/config \
linuxserver/apache

⁠Parameters

The parameters are split into two halves, separated by a colon, the left hand side representing the host and the right the container side. For example with a port -p external:internal - what this shows is the port mapping from internal to external of the container. So -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 http://192.168.x.x:8080 would show you what's running INSIDE the container on port 80.

• -p 80, 443 - the port(s)
• -v /config/ - Location for reverse proxy files. Contains log, www, keys and apache folder
• -e PGID for for GroupID - see below for explanation - optional
• -e PUID for for UserID - see below for explanation - optional

It is based on phusion-baseimage with ssh removed, for shell access whilst the container is running do docker exec -it apache /bin/bash.

⁠User / Group Identifiers

Sometimes when using data volumes (-v flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container. We avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID. Ensure the data volume directory on the host is owned by the same user you specify and it will "just work" ™.

In this instance PUID=1001 and PGID=1001. To find yours use id user as below:

  $ id <dockeruser>
    uid=1001(dockeruser) gid=1001(dockergroup) groups=1001(dockergroup)

⁠Setting up the application

• Config files are located in /config/apache
• Place web files in /config/www
• Place keys in /config/keys

⁠Info

• To monitor the logs of the container in realtime docker logs -f apache.

• container version number

docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' apache

• image version number

docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' linuxserver/apache
