last commit Build Status Dockerhub Registry Docker apache pulls Docker Repository on Quay

Startx apache is a base container used for web services and applications published in Dockerhub registry and Quay registry. This container contain :

  • fedora / centos /alpine /ubi operating system
  • core OS packages (kernel, libs) updated every week
  • fundamentals tools (ex: pwgen, tar, zip) updated every week
  • usefull tools (psmisc, procps, coreutils, findutils, wget, curl, vi, bash-completion) only for the :latest flavour.
  • Apache webserver and fundamentals modules (apache release depend on the flavour you use, see container flavours for more information)

You can use Startx Apache image in many ways :

Running this image

If you want to be guided on setting-up and installing various containers engines (docker, podman, s2i, dockerEE, kubernetes, openshift) you can read ours containers engines guidelines.

Running using docker

docker run -it -p 9201:8080 --name="example-apache" startx/sv-apache
  • Connect to your local application
firefox http://localhost:9201

Running using docker-compose

  • Create a docker-compose.yml file with the following content
apache:
  image: startx/sv-apache:latest
  container_name: "example-apache"
  ports:
    - "9201:8080"
  • Execute the following command
docker-compose up -d
docker-compose logs
  • Connect to your local application
firefox http://localhost:9201

Running using Openshift

Openshift images streams

Openshift cluster administrator can offer this image and all its flavour to all consumers. You can import our openshift images stream in your openshift project.

You must be cluster-admin to add this image to the openshift project. If not, you can add it to your own project (skip the oc project openshift command in the next script)

# swith to the openshift project
oc project openshift
# Add image streams to the service catalog (project or cluster-wide scope)
oc create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/startxfr/docker-images/master/Services/apache/openshift-imageStreams.yml

Openshift builder template

Openshift cluster administrator can add a build and deploy template to their consumers. As an administrator, you can import our openshift builder template in your openshift project.

You must be cluster-admin to add this image to the openshift project. If not, you can add it to your own project (skip the oc project openshift command in the next script)

# swith to the openshift project
oc project openshift
# Add this template to the service catalog (project or cluster-wide scope)
oc create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/startxfr/docker-images/master/Services/apache/openshift-template-build.yml

You can then build an application

# create an example project
oc new-project example
# start a new application
oc process -f startx-apache-build-template \
    -p APP_NAME=myapp \
| oc create -f -

Openshift deploy template

Openshift cluster administrator can add a deploy template to their consumers. As an administrator, you can import our openshift deploy template in your openshift project.

You must be cluster-admin to add this image to the openshift project. If not, you can add it to your own project (skip the oc project openshift command in the next script)

# swith to the openshift project
oc project openshift
# Add this template to the service catalog (project or cluster-wide scope)
oc create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/startxfr/docker-images/master/Services/apache/openshift-template-deploy.yml

You can then deploy an application

# create a example project
oc new-project example
# start a new application
oc process -f startx-apache-deploy-template \
    -p APP_NAME=myapp \
| oc create -f -

Using this image as S2I builder

Create your local project (skip if you already are in a project diretory with a run bash script)

# Create a project directory
mkdir example-project
cd example-project
# create a run script
cat << "EOF"
<html><head></head><body><h1>My Web Application</h1></body></html>
EOF > index.html

Then you can use this image as an s2i builder image

# With your current directory application code
s2i build . startx/sv-apache:latest startx-apache-myapp
docker run --rm -d -p 9201:8080 startx-apache-myapp
# With startx application sample code repository
s2i build https://gitlab.com/startx1/containers-example-apache startx/sv-apache startx-apache-sample
docker run --rm -d -p 9201:8080 startx-apache-sample

Using this image as base container

You can use this Dockerfile template to start a new personalized container based on this container. Create a file named Dockerfile in your project directory and copy this content inside. See docker guide for instructions on how to use this file.

For advanced users

You can contribute or start this container initiative locally. Follow theses instructions to setup a working environment.

This section will help you if you want to :

  • Get latest version of this container Service source code
  • Enhance and share your container improvement by adding instruction in Dockefile

Build & run a container using docker

  1. Jump into the container directory with cd Services/apache
  2. Build the container using docker build -t startx-apache .
  3. Run this container
  4. Interactively with docker run -it startx-apache. 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,…)
  5. As a daemon with docker run -d -p 9201:8080 startx-apache

Build & run a container using docker-compose

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