| Docker Website Server | RealOrangeOne/docker-website-server | Static file server designed for serving websites |
If you, like me, have a website, you'll probably need some way of serving it. And if, like me, your website is static, nginx is a great, lightweight and insanely fast file server. But, how do you configure it? Sometimes, you just don't care, and want someone else to do it for you - like me!
{{}} This website doesn't actually use this container - It does [something else]({{<relref "website-deployment-process">}}). {{}}
Why not just use nginx:latest?
If you're not really bothered, the default nginx container will work just fine for you, however this container has a few modifications which make it more suited to serving sites:
- Use environment variables for customization
- Healthcheck endpoint
- GZIP and Brotli support
- Serve pre-compressed files
- Use
X-Forwarded-Forheader when getting client IP

Note this isn't designed to merely serve files. If you want to just serve files, take a look at [docker-static-server]({{<relref "docker-static-server">}}).
