# Docker OS Images : APACHE

Simple and lightweight (120Mo) container used to deliver static http content include all aache module but no externa languages engines (like php). For dynamic content, you should use our [sv-php service container](https://hub.docker.com/r/startx/sv-php)
This container contain updated core OS rpm (kernel, libs,...) as well as usefull tools like pwgen, tar, zip, psmisc, procps, coreutils, findutils, wget

## Available flavours

* `:latest` : Fedora core 23 + Apache 
* `:fc23` : Fedora core 23 + Apache 
* `:fc22` : Fedora core 22 + Apache 
* `:fc21` : Fedora core 21 + Apache 
* `:centos7` : CentOS 7 + Apache 
* `:centos6` : Centos 6 + Apache 

## Running from dockerhub registry

* with `docker` you can run `docker run -it --name="startx_apache" startx/sv-apache` from any docker host
* with `docker-compose` you can create a docker-compose.yml file with the following content
```
service:
  image: startx/sv-apache:latest
  container_name: "sv-apache"
  environment:
    CONTAINER_TYPE: "service"
    CONTAINER_SERVICE: "apache"
    CONTAINER_INSTANCE: "service-apache"
    SERVER_NAME: "localhost"
    DOC_ROOT: "/data/apache"
  volumes:
    - "/tmp/container/logs/apache:/data/logs/apache"
    - "/tmp/container/apache:/data/apache"
```

## Docker-compose in various situations

* sample docker-compose.yml linked to host port 1000
```
service:
  image: startx/sv-apache:latest
  container_name: "sv-apache"
  environment:
    CONTAINER_INSTANCE: "service-apache"
  ports:
    - "1000:80"
```
* sample docker-compose.yml with port exposed only to linked services
```
service:
  image: startx/sv-apache:latest
  container_name: "sv-apache"
  environment:
    CONTAINER_INSTANCE: "service-apache"
  expose:
    - "80"
```
* sample docker-compose.yml using data container
```
data:
  image: startx/fedora:latest
  container_name: "sv-apache-data"
  environment:
    CONTAINER_INSTANCE: "service-apache-data"
service:
  image: startx/sv-apache:latest
  container_name: "sv-apache"
  environment:
    CONTAINER_INSTANCE: "service-apache"
  volume_from:
    - data:rw
```

## Using this image in your own container

You can use this Dockerfile template to start a new personalized container based on this container
 ```
FROM startx/fedora:latest
#... your container specifications
CMD ["/bin/run.sh"]
```

## Environment variable

| Variable                  | Type     | Mandatory | Description                                                              |
|---------------------------|----------|-----------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| CONTAINER_INSTANCE        | `string` | `yes`     | Container name. Should be uning to get fine grained log and application reporting
| CONTAINER_TYPE            | `string` | `no`      | Container family (os, service, application. could be enhanced 
| CONTAINER_SERVICE         | `string` | `no`      | Define the type of service or application provided
| SERVER_NAME               | `string` | `no`      | Server name for this container. If no name localhost will be assigned
| HOSTNAME                  | `auto`   | `auto`    | Container unique id automatically assigned by docker daemon at startup
| DOC_ROOT                  | `auto`   | `auto`    | document root, will use the $APP_PATH variable
| LOG_PATH                  | `auto`   | `auto`    | is set to /data/logs/apache and used as a volume mountpoint
| APP_PATH                  | `auto`   | `auto`    | is set to /data/apache and used as a volume mountpoint

## Exposed port

| Port  | Description                                                              |
|-------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 80    | standard httpd network port used for non encrypted http traffic
| 443   | SSL enabeled http port used for encrypted traffic (certificate not actually implemented)

## Exposed volumes

| /data/logs/apache    | log directory used to record container and apache logs
| /data/apache         | data directory served by apache. If empty will be filled with app on startup. In other case use content from mountpoint or data volumes

## Testing the service

access to the running webserver with your favorites browser `firefox http://localhost:80`. Change port and hostname according to your current configuration

## For advanced users

You you want to use this container and code to build and create locally this container. You can follow theses instructions to setup and working environment.

This section will help you if you want to :
* Get latest version of this container OS
* Enhance container content by adding instruction in Dockefile before build step

You must have a working environment with the source code of this repository. Read and follow [how to setup your working environment](https://github.com/startxfr/docker-images#setup-your-working-environment-mandatory) to get a working directory. The following instructions assume you are at the top level of your working directory.

### Build & run a container using `docker`

1. Jump into the container directory with `cd OS`
2. Build the container using `docker build -t fedora .`
3. Run this container 
  1. Interactively with `docker run -p 80:80 -v /data/logs/apache -it fedora`. If you add a second parameter (like `/bin/bash`) to will run this command instead of the default entrypoint. Usefull to interact with this container (ex: `/bin/bash`, `/bin/ps -a`, `/bin/df -h`,...) 
  2. As a daemon with `docker run -p 80:80 -v /data/logs/apache -d fedora`


### Build & run a container using `docker-compose`

1. Jump into the container directory with `cd OS`
2. Run this container 
  1. Interactively with `docker-compose up` Startup logs appears and escaping this command stop the container
  2. As a daemon with `docker-compose up -d`. Container startup and behaviour can be read using `docker-compose logs`

If you experience trouble with port already used, edit docker-compose.yml file and change port mapping
