This is a Docker image used to serve a Single Page App (pure frontend javascript) using nginx, it support PushState, and includes a way to pass configuration at run time.
This is a fork of SocialEngine/docker-nginx-spa. Changes include:
- armv7/armv6/amd64 support (not just amd64)
- Using
nginx:alpine-stable
as base
Included on top of base nginx image
- pushState support. Every request is routed to
/app/index.html
. Useful for the clean urls (no!#
) - ENV-based Config
This docker image is built for index.html
file being in the /app
directory. pushState
is enabled.
At a minimum, you will want this in your Dockerfile
:
FROM ghcr.io/nikeee/docker-nginx-spa:latest
COPY build/ /app
COPY index.html /app/index.html
Then you can build & run your app in the docker container. It will be served by a nginx static server.
$ docker build -t your-app-image .
$ docker run -e API_KEY=yourkey -e API_URL=http://myapi.example.com \
-e CONFIG_VARS=API_URL,API_KEY -p 8000:80 your-app-image
You can then go to http://docker-ip:8000/
to see it in action.
Included is ability to pass run
time environmental variables to your app.
This is very useful in case your API is on a different domain, or if you want to configure central error logging.
$ docker run -e RAVEN_DSN=yourkey -e API_URL=http://myapi.example.com \
-e CONFIG_VARS=API_URL,RAVEN_DSN -p 8000:80 ghcr.io/nikeee/docker-nginx-spa:latest
==> Writing /app/config.js with {"RAVEN_DSN":"yourkey", "API_URL":"http://myapi.example.com"}
This will create a config.js
file, which you can then add to your index.html, or load asynchronously. The path can be controlled with CONFIG_FILE_PATH
environmental variable.
