    Docker container with basic nginx server that has exposed ports on Windows Guide/Tutorial

Environment

Windows 10 with Anniversary update
Using Docker Toolbox (uses boot2docker VirtualBox machines)
docker -v
Docker version 1.12.0, build 8eab29e

Instructions


docker-machine create --driver virtualbox some-box or docker-machine start some-box if you already created the machine


docker-machine env some-box (be sure the run the command it spits out at the end of that output to actual setup your env


Setup the nginx container
docker run -d -v //c/Users/MLM/Downloads/static-server-stuff/public:/usr/share/nginx/html:ro  -v //c/Users/MLM/Downloads/static-server-stuff/nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:ro -p 5031:80 --name some-nginx nginx


-d: "Run container in background and print container ID", https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/run/#options
-v //c/Users/MLM/Downloads/static-server-stuff/public:/usr/share/nginx/html:ro: Sets up a shared read-only(:ro) volume mapping your Windows host directory, C:\Users\MLM\Downloads\static-server-stuff\public, to /usr/share/nginx/html in the container
-v //c/Users/MLM/Downloads/static-server-stuff/nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:ro: Sets up a shared read-only(:ro) volume mapping your Windows host file, C:\Users\MLM\Downloads\static-server-stuff\nginx.conf, to /etc/nginx/nginx.conf in the container
-p 5031:80: Maps port Docker machines port 5031 to the containers port 80 (accessible on docker-machine ip some-box, not localhost)
--name some-nginx: Adds a name to your container so you can better distinguish it (it can be anything)
nginx: The image name to use


Run docker-machine ip some-box to get the IP we can access


Visit the IP we just got above with the port we specified on the container, perhaps something like http://192.168.99.100:5031


Teardown


docker ps --all will show you all of the containers in the machine
You can stop a container by using the ID from the command above, docker stop e4926128afab
You can remove a container by using the ID from the command above docker rm e4926128afab


docker-machine ls will show you all of the machines
To stop the Docker machine docker-machine stop some-box
To remove the whole Docker machine docker-machine rm -f some-box

Troubleshooting

If you want to delete/remove the containers/machines, see the Teardown section above.
You can look at the logs of a container
# You can use the container anme
docker logs some-nginx
# Or use the container ID
docker logs 19d1cdda14a6

You can essentially SSH into the container by using the following command (use your own container ID, docker ps --all)
docker exec -it 19d1cdda14a6 bash
