Introduction: In this tutorial, we'll walk through the process of setting up and configuring an Apache web server within a Docker container. Docker provides a convenient way to package applications and their dependencies into a lightweight container, ensuring consistency across different environments. By containerizing Apache, we can easily deploy and manage web servers without worrying about compatibility issues or dependencies.
Here are the simple steps for this task:
Step 1: Install start and enable docker with these commands.
yum install docker -y
systemctl start docker
systemctl enable docker
Step 2: Install start and enable httpd webserver with these commands.
yum install httpd -y
systemctl start httpd
systemctl enable httpd
Step 3: Write your code in a html file inside /var/www/html/ this folder
Step 4: Run httpd
the httpd command starts the Apache HTTP Server using its default configuration.
