nginx
Nginx is an open source reverse proxy server for HTTP, HTTPS, SMTP, POP3, and IMAP protocols, as well as a load balancer, HTTP cache, and a web server (origin server). The nginx project started with a strong focus on high concurrency, high performance and low memory usage. It is licensed under the 2-clause BSD-like license and it runs on Linux, BSD variants, Mac OS X, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, as well as on other *nix flavors. It also has a proof of concept port for Microsoft Windows.

Usage Notes
Hosting some simple static content:
docker run --name some-nginx -v {nginx-volume}:/usr/share/nginx/html:ro \
-d icr.io/ibmz/nginx:[version]
Note: As a security measure, bind mounts are disabled in ZCX. Instead, please use Docker Volumes to specify configuration files.
Alternatively, a simple Dockerfile can be used to generate a new image that includes the necessary content (which is a much cleaner solution than the bind mount above):
FROM icr.io/ibmz/nginx:[version]
COPY static-html-directory /usr/share/nginx/html
Place this file in the same directory as your directory of content ("static-html-directory"),
run docker build -t some-content-nginx .
then start your container:
docker run --name some-nginx -d icr.io/ibmz/nginx:[version]
Exposing an External Port
docker run --name some-nginx -d -p 8080:80 icr.io/ibmz/nginx:[version]
Then you can access host-ip:8080 in your browser.
Complex Configuration
docker run --name my-custom-nginx-container -v {nginx-volume}:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:ro -d nginx
For information on the syntax of the nginx configuration files, see the official documentation. If you wish to adapt the default configuration, use something like the following to copy it from a running nginx container:
docker run --name tmp-nginx-container -d icr.io/ibmz/nginx:[version]
docker cp tmp-nginx-container:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf /host/path/nginx.conf
docker rm -f tmp-nginx-container
This can also be accomplished more cleanly using a simple Dockerfile (in /host/path/):
FROM icr.io/ibmz/nginx:[version]
COPY nginx.conf /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
If you add a custom CMD in the Dockerfile, be sure to include -g daemon off; in the CMD in order for nginx to stay in the foreground, so that Docker can track the process properly (otherwise your container will stop immediately after starting)!
Then build the image with docker build -t custom-nginx . and run it as follows:
docker run --name my-custom-nginx-container -d custom-nginx
