The nginx config is based on the default Ubuntu 12.04 nginx configuration.
Following modification were done:
echo "daemon off;" >> nginx/nginx.confIn the ./configure statement, you can find other extensions you could install. They're used in one of the Ubuntu packages (nginx-full, nginx-naxsi, nginx-light, …).
This should be seen as a base package from which you can install/reconfigure your nginx.
I suggest you also mount 2 volumes: one for the sites you want to enable host and the second for the logs.
mkdir -p ~/nginx/{logs,sites}
docker run -v ~/nginx/logs:/var/log/nginx/ -v ~/ngnix/sites:/etc/nginx/sites-enabled gvangool/nginx-srcTo get a minimal nginx version:
