This Pull Request adds support for Docker in HTTPS Watch. The way this is achieved is by creating a new
docker
image with all the files and then installing the dependencies included inrequirements.txt
. The image usespython3.5
. As soon as the image is executed (in a container), two processes start. The first is a bash script, namely/bin/periodic-check.sh
, which currently runscheck_https.py
every 24 hours in the background. The second is thenginx
web server, properly configured to serve/out
and/static
in port 80.By default, if you don't pass any extra arguments to
docker
, it will run with the/config
included in this repository. However, to allow for easy editing of the configuration file, adocker
volume is exposed, namely/httpswatch/config/
, so by usingdocker run
with-v /path/to/config:/httpswatch/config/
the configuration file can be overrided with a new one. If you decide to do this, every time you make a change to the configuration file in the host, thedocker
container will use the new configuration file, just like acron
job.How to build the Docker Image:
Just run:
docker build -t benjaminp/httpswatch .
How to run a built image:
To run HTTPSWatch with the default configuration file on port
tcp/8000
, use the following:To run HTTPSWatch with a custom configuration file, use:
In any case, if you want to run HTTPSWatch in the background, you can also add
-d
. If you also want to restart automatically the container across host reboots /docker
upgrades, remove the--rm
and add the--restart=always
.
