This docker container starts an nginx server that serves up the content of the /var/www directory.
The server configuration changes dynamically based on the value of the ENVIRON environment variable.
See below for details.

The docker image can be run using docker run or Docker Compose.
Using Docker Compose can be helpful if you need to specify numerous environment variables/volume mounts and/or if you are using this container within a multi-service project.
To run the image, pass an ENVIRON environment variable into the container, e.g. docker run -p 8080:80 -e "ENVIRON=dev" icj217/hv-sysops-nginx:latest
The following are valid ENVIRON values: dev, prod
There is no default value for this environment variable to limit the chance of accidental misconfiguration.
To override the default content served by nginx, simply mount a volume over the /var/www/ directory, e.g. docker run -p 8080:80 --volume=/my/local/content:/var/www -e "ENVIRON=dev" icj217/hv-sysops-nginx:latest
