Docker Install Apache
Method 1: docker pull httpd
Search for the httpd image on Docker Hub:
You can view other versions of httpd by sorting, with the default being the latest version httpd:latest.
Additionally, we can use the docker search httpd command to view available versions:
tutorialpro@tutorialpro:~/apache$ docker search httpd

Here, we pull the official image:
tutorialpro@tutorialpro:~/apache$ docker pull httpd
After the download completes, we can see the httpd image in our local image list:

Method 2: Build from Dockerfile
Create Dockerfile
First, create a directory named apache to store the related files:
tutorialpro@tutorialpro:~$ mkdir -p ~/apache/www ~/apache/logs ~/apache/conf
The www directory will be mapped to the application directory of the apache container.
The logs directory will be mapped to the log directory of the apache container.
The configuration files in the conf directory will be mapped to the configuration files of the apache container.
Navigate to the created apache directory and create a Dockerfile:
FROM debian:jessie
# add our user and group first to make sure their IDs get assigned consistently, regardless of whatever dependencies get added
#RUN groupadd -r www-data && useradd -r --create-home -g www-data www-data

COPY httpd-foreground /usr/local/bin/
EXPOSE 80
CMD ["httpd-foreground"]
In the Dockerfile, COPY httpd-foreground /usr/local/bin/ copies the httpd-foreground script from the current directory into the image as the startup script for the httpd service. Therefore, we need to create a script file named httpd-foreground locally:
#!/bin/bash
set -e
# Apache gets grumpy about PID files pre-existing
rm -f /usr/local/apache2/logs/httpd.pid
exec httpd -DFOREGROUND
Grant execute permissions to the httpd-foreground file:
tutorialpro@tutorialpro:~/apache$ chmod +x httpd-foreground
Create an image from the Dockerfile, replacing it with your own name:
tutorialpro@tutorialpro:~/apache$ docker build -t httpd .
After creation, we can find the newly created image in our local image list:
tutorialpro@tutorialpro:~/apache$ docker images httpd

Using the Apache Image
docker run -p 80:80 -v $PWD/www/:/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/ -v $PWD/conf/httpd.conf:/usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf -v $PWD/logs/:/usr/local/apache2/logs/ -d httpd
Command Explanation:
-p 80:80: The first 80 is the host port, and the second is the container port, resulting in the container's 80 port being mapped to the host's 80 port.
-v $PWD/www/:/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/: Mounts the www directory in the current directory of the host to /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/ in the container.
-v $PWD/conf/httpd.conf:/usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf: Mounts the conf/httpd.conf file in the current directory of the host to /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf in the container.
-v $PWD/logs/:/usr/local/apache2/logs/: Mounts the logs directory in the current directory of the host to /usr/local/apache2/logs/ in the container.
For more detailed command reference: Docker run command
