    git clone https://github.molgen.mpg.de/donald/labfolder-nginx-example.git nginx
  

• Edit startstop.sh:

  • Change /home/labfolder/nginx to the absolut path where you are

• Build the Docker image:

    ./startstop.sh build
  

• Create the Docker container:

    ./startstop.sh create
  

• Edit etc_nginx/nginx.conf:

  • change every occurrence of labfolder.molgen.mgp.de to your server name
  • change 141\.14\. to a pattern which matches your network

./startstop.sh stop    # stop the server
./startstop.sh restart # restart - after you changed something in etc_nginx
./startstop.sh show    # show images and container
./startstop.sh logs    # show server log
./startstop.sh rm      # remove container
./startstop.sh rmi     # remove image
