docker-nexus

A nginx/cgi/sshd server for prototyping services or data hubs.

Quick start

• Clone: git clone ssh://git@gitlab.xmopx.net:222/dave/docker-nexus.git
• Build: cd docker-nexus ; docker build -t nexus .
• Run: docker run nexus

Usage

Nexus offers a couple services:

SSHD

For shell related activities, an sshd daemon runs on the standard port. Username and password, by default, is nexus.

Nginx

For accessing data or calling CGI scripts, nginx runs on the standard port. The document root is /nexus/.

CGI

Standard CGI scripts can be placed in /nexus/cgi-bin/. Some sample scripts exist in ./examples/cgi-scripts/.

Cron

Cron is present in the container.

Protips

• Drop executable scripts into /startup.d/ for effortless startup tasks
• Persistance? You want to mount these files/dirs outside the container:
  • /nexus/ - webroot and recommended data store
  • /etc/ssh/keys/ - sshd key file directory

TODO

• Allow ssh password to be set by passing an env var
• More sample CGI scripts
