This is a simple nginx image that enables html-5-mode style urls, by redirecting all request to a single file. This use case is typical for single page apps, that are doing all the routing on the client-side.
Configuration is inspired by https://gist.github.com/cjus/b46a243ba610661a7efb .
This is image is intended to be used as a base image:
FROM zalari/nginx-html5
COPY ./app/dist /usr/share/nginx/html/
Of course no one can prevent you from using evil bind-mounts for /usr/share/nginx/html which is the document root.
