# Example nginx Docker installation for Labfolder

## How to use:

* Clone this repository into a directory nginx and go there:

        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

* Create a `etc_nginx/dhparams.pem` file

        openssl dhparam -out etc_nginx/dhparams.pem 2048

* Put your server key file and certificate file in place. The key file should not be encrypted. The crt file should include the chain.

        cp /SOMEWHERE/SERVER.crt etc_nginx/
        cp /SOMEWHERE/SERVER.key etc_nginx/

* start the nginx server

        ./startstop.sh start

## what else ?

    ./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
