Docker Ubuntu Nginx Pagespeed package builder

A Docker image to build the Nginx web server with Google's automatic PageSpeed optimisation module using Debian/Ubuntu deb packages. All tested under Ubuntu 14.04LTS, but should work for any host that supports Docker.

• For each package a Dockerfile will build the OS image and create the deb package using checkinstall.
• The extractdeb.sh script will then:
  • run the image in a container
  • extract deb package back to the host file system
  • destroy the container

When installing package on target system remember that dependent packages will need to be installed manually, they are not brought over by the checkinstall process.

Notes for Ubuntu 14.04LTS: The Docker package in the Ubuntu repositories is (somewhat inconveniently) named docker.io due to an existing package clash. All build scripts assume you have symlinked the docker.io binary like so:

$ sudo apt-get install docker.io
$ ln -sf /usr/bin/docker.io /usr/local/bin/docker

Alternatively (and probably a better idea), you can install the latest stable docker-engine package from Docker's own repository using the following commands:

$ curl -sSL https://get.docker.com/ | sh
# add USERNAME to docker group - avoids the need for "sudo docker" calls.
$ sudo usermod -aG docker USERNAME

Nginx

• OS: Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS
• Version: 1.10.1
• Configure: resource/configure.sh

Create and extract package:

$ ./build.sh
# waiting... as Docker builds image

$ ./extractdeb.sh
# package extract from container

$ ls -l nginx_1.10.1-1_amd64.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3080472 Feb 27 13:51 nginx_1.10.1-1_amd64.deb

Install on target system:

# should be no dependent packages needed - based off packaged configure.sh
$ sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /path/to/nginx_1.10.0-1_amd64.deb

Additional Modules:

• Upstream Fair Balancer https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/modules/fair_balancer/#upstream-fair-balancer
