This tutorial shows how to run a webserver with docker.
Firstly create a VM - the instructions here are based on our ScientificLinux-7-NoGui image.
SSH to your VM and install docker:
sudo yum install docker-ce -y
Start and enable dockered
sudo systemctl enable docker && sudo systemctl start docker
Check that you are using our dockerhub mirror as described here: STFC Docker Hub Mirror
Pull the docker image for the nginx webserver
sudo docker pull nginx
Run the nginx docker container:
sudo docker run -it --rm -d -p 80:80 --name nginx nginx
Check that the container is running
sudo docker ps
You should see the nginx container running
You should now be able to browse to your webserver at the http://<instance-ip>
If this doesn't work check the security group for your instance
