nginx docker instance multiple application

Question

So, I am Dockerizing my architecture which consists of multiple php applications ran on apache.

If I'm right I need: 1 nginx container, 1 php container and multiple data-containers to volume-from in the nginx container.

How would I be able to have multiple data container linked to my nginx container? So for example I got app1.domain.com volumed to /data/app1 and app2.domain.com volumed to /data/app2 etc etc.

You can create one volume container for each app:

app1: docker create -v /data/app1 --name app1 ....
app2: docker create -v /data/app2 --name app2 ....

Then link them to your nginx container with:

docker run --volumes-from app1 --volumes-from app2 --name nginx ... nginx ...

More information about volumes you can find in the official volumes documentation.

And link the php and nginx to each other?

I would install nginx and php-fpm on the same image.

@guidsen you should use docker-compose for that.

@h3nrik so I would have a nginx-php container for each components that has a volume from a data container? Because I got issues running multiple application on the same nginx-php container.

No. The idea is to have only one single nginx/php container with the server installation and many data containers. What kind of issues do you have? Are they worth a separate question?
