docker-apache
A custom Apache HTTP Server Docker image built on top of the lightweight httpd:alpine.
It ships with a small config updater that enables commonly needed modules (proxy/FCGI, SSL, rewrite, headers, etc.) and applies a few sane defaults.
Features
- Small footprint: based on
httpd:alpine - Auto configuration: enables essential modules and settings on build
mod_proxy,mod_proxy_fcgimod_rewritemod_ssl+socache_shmcbmod_headers,mod_deflate
- Timezone support via
tzdata+TZenv - Nice interactive banner when you open a shell inside the container (optional convenience)
