# Serve a HTML Resume Site via a Docker Container In this blog, we'll walk you through the steps to serve a simple HTML website using Apache2 in a Docker container. This guide assumes you have an Ubuntu environment with Docker installed. **Assumptions** * **Ubuntu Environment**: Ensure you're using an Ubuntu-based system. * **Docker Installed**: Verify Docker is installed and running using the command `docker --version`. **Create the HTML File** Create a directory to store your HTML file and your Dockerfile. ***Dockerfile will contain instructions on how to build the image.*** ```plaintext mkdir my-resume-site cd my-resume-site vi index.html ``` Create the `index.html` file inside this directory with the following content: ```xml htmlCopy code My Resume

``` **Create a Dockerfile** To serve the HTML site, create a `Dockerfile` to set up the Apache2 web server. ```plaintext vi Dockerfile ``` Add the following content to the file and save it. ```plaintext # Use the official Apache2 image as the base FROM httpd:2.4 # Copy the HTML file into the container COPY ./index.html /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/ ``` --- **Build the Docker Image** Build the Docker image using the `Dockerfile`. ```plaintext docker build -t my-resume-site . ``` This command tags the image as `my-resume-site` . The `.` in the command - points to the current directory. Docker will automatically know to look for a file named `Dockerfile` **Run the Docker Container** Run the container and map it to port 80 on your host machine. ```plaintext docker run -d -p 80:80 --name resume-site my-resume-site ``` * `-d`: Runs the container in detached mode. * `-p 80:80`: Maps port 80 of the host to port 80 of the container. * `--name resume-site`: Names the container `resume-site`. **Access the Site** Open your browser and navigate to `http://localhost:80`. You should see your resume displayed. **Verify the Container is Running** Check if the container is running: ```plaintext docker ps ``` The output should list the `resume-site` container. **Cleanup - Stop and Remove the Container** To stop the container: ```plaintext docker stop resume-site ``` To remove the container: ```plaintext docker rm resume-site ``` **Conclusion** You've successfully served a simple HTML resume site using Apache2 in a Docker container!
