# Creating a Web Server inside Docker
|
||
|
||
### Start docker and it’s container -
|
||
```
|
||
$ systemctl restart docker
|
||
$ systemctl enable docker
|
||
$ docker run -it --name webserver centos:latest
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Install httpd
|
||
- **yum** is already configured in centos docker image.
|
||
So directly install **httpd** software -
|
||
`$ yum install httpd -y`
|
||
|
||
- Create a dummy web page to check the server -
|
||
```
|
||
$ cd /var/www/html
|
||
$ vi index.html
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Start services -
|
||
- If we use **systemctl** to start the services, this will not work and gives an error.
|
||
- **systemctl** doesn't work in docker.
|
||
- In actual RedHat system, when we start a service it actually runs a script in background. That script starts daemons.
|
||
- To find the path of that script, check status of service
|
||
`$ systemctl status httpd`
|
||
`Loaded` option shows script file path.
|
||
- In that file, we have a line which actually starts service -
|
||
`ExecStart = /usr/sbin/httpd....... `
|
||
So the command `/usr/sbin/httpd` actually starts **httpd** server.
|
||
|
||
- Service is running or not, can be checked by -
|
||
`$ ps -aux | grep httpd`
|
||
|
||
- So we don't require `systemctl` we can directly start our web server using-
|
||
`$ /usr/sbin/httpd`
|
||
This will start the web server.
|
||
|
||
- `ifconfig` doesn't work in docker.
|
||
- So install software, which gives `ifconfig` command.
|
||
- It can be checked in actual Redhat system by running this command-
|
||
`$ rpm -qf /usr/sbin/ifconfig`
|
||
- This comes from **net-tools** package.
|
||
- So Install **net-tools** in docker os.
|
||
|
||
- Making _image_ of created web server -
|
||
`$ docker commit webserver apacheimg:v1`
|
||
- Name of container is _webserver_.
|
||
- This image can be share with exact setup with other users.
|
||
|
||
- To save created image -
|
||
`$ docker save apacheimg:v1 -o mywebserver.tar`
|
||
|
||
- To start **httpd** service automatically when container starts -
|
||
- Write `/usr/sbin/httpd` in following file.
|
||
`$ vim /root/.bashrc`
|
||
|
||
- To copy a file in container from the base system -
|
||
`$ docker cp /root/form.txt myconatiner:/`
|
||
|
||
## Summary
|
||
Summary of all the commands -
|
||
```
|
||
$ docker run -it --name webserver centos:latest
|
||
$ yum install httpd -y
|
||
$ rpm -q httpd
|
||
$ cd /var/www/html
|
||
$ vi index.html
|
||
// write some web content
|
||
|
||
$ /usr/sbin/httpd
|
||
$ yum install net-tool
|
||
|
||
$ ifconfig
