Customizable and performant container for hosting websites - Powered by Nginx

__Note__: This container is designed for hosting static sites, rather than simply serving files. For that, check out [`docker-static-server`](https://github.com/RealOrangeOne/docker-static-server).

## _"Why not just use `nginx:alpine`?"_

If you're not really bothered, the default `nginx` container will work just fine for you, however this container has a few modifications which make it more suited to serving sites:

- Use environment variables for [customization](#customization)

- Healthcheck endpoint

- GZIP and Brotli support

- Serve pre-compressed files

- Use `X-Forwarded-For` header when getting client IP

Nginx makes a brilliant file server regardless of how you use it.

## Usage

```yml

version: "2.3"

services:

  web:

    image: theorangeone/website-server:latest

    volumes:

      - ".:/srv:ro"

    ports:

      - "80:80"

```

The server will serve files in the `/srv` directory. This directory can be mounted read-only.

## Customization

This image supports some customizations:

- `$PUID`: Set the user nginx runs as (default `1000`)

If you'd rather add some additional configuration yourself, you can mount an additional nginx config at `/etc/nginx/extra.conf`, which will be included in the primary config.
