By containerizing Nginx, it is possible to cut down on some system administration overhead. For instance, you won’t have to manage Nginx through a package manager or build it from source. The Docker container allows you to replace the whole container when a new version of Nginx is released. This way, you only need to maintain the Nginx configuration file and your content.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to serve a small web page by configuring Nginx with a Docker container.
