Lighttpd

This repository was creiated to keep every necessary files to build a container with lighttpd loggin to /dev/stderr.

To build:

git clone https://github.com/hector-vido/lighttpd-docker
cd lighttpd-docker
docker build -t lighttpd .

To run:

docker run -d --name lighttpd -p 8080:80 lighttpd
curl localhost:8080

You can watch logs normally on container:

docker logs -f lighttpd

How It Works

The container entrypoint change the permission of /dev/stderr before the main process start:

#!/bin/sh

# Allow lighttpd to log access on /dev/stderr

chown lighttpd: /dev/stderr
exec lighttpd -D -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

And then, inside configuration file, we removed server.errorlog to allow it log to STDERR and configured accesslog.filename:

server.modules += ("mod_accesslog")
accesslog.filename = "/dev/stderr"
