Not only is NGINX a fast and reliable static web server, it is also used by a ton of developers as a reverse-proxy that sits in front of their APIs. In this tutorial we will take a look at the NGINX Official Docker Image and how to use it. We’ll start by running a static web server locally then we’ll build a custom image to house our web server and the files it needs to serve.

This will pull the nginx:latest image to our local machine and then build our custom image on top of it.

In this article we walked through running the NGINX official image, adding our custom html files, building a custom image based off of the official image and configuring the NGINX as a reverse proxy.
