Hi,
I checked nginx code repository as well as Internet to see if I can
get a Dockerfile to build nginx. I got a few references (like
https://github.com/dockerfile/nginx) but those are essentially to
run nginx, not build it.
I am looking to build different versions of nginx (say
top-of-the-tree, latest-stable etc.) easily. It would be very
convenient if a Dockerfile is presented with the source code which
will build one of the versions mentioned above. If required, a slight
modification can then build any version of nginx.
I would highly appreciate if somebody could point me to a source where
I can get a Dockerfile which builds nginx.
Thanks,
Atul.
Hello Atul,
Is this what you are looking for? Keep in mind I just threw this
together to give you an idea of how you could do this and it should be
tested. Let me know if you have any suggestions or questions.

Hi Kevin,
Many thanks for the pointer. That is exactly what I am looking for.
Now counting on my own experience, I think such dockerfiles should be
integrated with the nginx source code itself. This will make the nginx
source code self-contained and build process consistent. Otherwise,
developers like me will go in every direction looking out for a
dockerfile and there could be different versions of it available from
multiple sources. Having an official version along with source code
will save a lot of pain and will bring good things along. It’s just
like having Makefile along with the code. As long as the base image
for container is available, I don’t see any reason not to include a
dockerfile with source code. – Just a thought.
Thanks again for pointing me to the right source!
Best regards,
Atul.
