Deploy Nginx Container on Application Server

In this session of our Docker mini-series, we walk through the process of deploying a lightweight, production-ready Nginx container on a specific application server within the Nautilus infrastructure. This lab emphasizes the use of minimal images to ensure efficient resource management.

Lab Objectives

The primary goal is to deploy an Nginx web server on App Server 1 using the highly efficient Alpine Linux-based Docker image.

Key Deployment Steps:

Server Access: Authenticating as user Tony to access App Server 1 (stapp01).

Environment Audit: Verifying the presence and version of the Docker engine on the target server.

Container Creation:

Utilizing the docker run command with the -d (detached) flag to ensure the process runs in the background.

Naming the container nginx1 as per the technical requirements.

Specifying the nginx:alpine image to leverage the small footprint of the Alpine distribution.

Operational Verification:

Monitoring the service status with systemctl status docker.

Executing docker ps to confirm the container is active and has been running successfully.

By the end of this tutorial, you will be able to deploy specialized application containers and verify their health within a Linux-based server environment.
