docker-apache

A custom Apache HTTP Server Docker image built on top of the lightweight httpd:alpine.
It ships with a small config updater that enables commonly needed modules (proxy/FCGI, SSL, rewrite, headers, etc.) and applies a few sane defaults.

---

Features

• Small footprint: based on httpd:alpine
• Auto configuration: enables essential modules and settings on build
  • mod_proxy, mod_proxy_fcgi
  • mod_rewrite
  • mod_ssl + socache_shmcb
  • mod_headers, mod_deflate
• Timezone support via tzdata + TZ env
• Nice interactive banner when you open a shell inside the container (optional convenience)

docker build -t infocyph/docker-apache:latest .

docker run -d \
  --name apache \

  -e SERVER_NAME=localhost \
  infocyph/docker-apache:latest
