$ git clone https://github.com/docker-demo/simple-nginx.git
$ cd simple-nginx
$ docker build -t simple-nginx .

Running the Built Container

$ docker run -it -p 8080:80 simple-nginx

Docker Template

This sections explains how to create a template for use with docker template or the Docker Desktop Application Designer

Prerequisites

1. Create the app-template organization in your registry.
2. Create the app-template/simple-nginx-db repository in your registry.

Build the application template images

Linux

$ export REGISTRY_FQDN="<FQDN of registry>"
$ docker login ${REGISTRY_FQDN}

$ cd simple-nginx/template/services
$ ./stage-images.sh

Windows

> $REGISTRY_FQDN="<FQDN of registry>"
> docker login ${REGISTRY_FQDN}

> cd .\simple-nginx\template\services
> .\stage-images.ps1

Edit the library file

2. Replace <registry fqdn> with the FQDN of your registry, it should be the same value used in the Build the application template images section above.
3. Add the library.yaml local repository to the docker template settings

Linux

1. On your computer, open ~/.docker/application-template/preferences.yaml
2. Add the local repository as the first item in the repositories list:

repositories:

  url: file:///<path to simpel-nginx folder>/template/library.yaml

Windows

1. On your computer, open %USERPROFILE%\.docker\application-template\preferences.yaml
