How do I run Apache 2 on Alpine in Docker?

Question

According to Alpine wiki I have to run rc-service apache2 startafter installation of Apache 2. However, there\'s no rc-service in the Alpine running in

Answer 1

gliderlabs/docker-alpine issue 183 illustrate the docker Alpine image has no service or rc-service.

You can see instead nimmis/docker-alpine-apache based on nimmis/docker-alpine-micro, which includes a runit, used to handle starting and shutting down processes automatically started.

That initd will start the apache2 script, which calls:

exec /usr/sbin/httpd -D FOREGROUND -f /web/config/httpd.conf
