Common Mistakes

Using the wrong image name like apache or mysql.

Forgetting to map port 80.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using the image name instead of container name.

Using a generic name not matching the container.

The docker rm -f command forcefully stops and removes the container named webserver.

Fix the error in the Dockerfile line to copy the Nginx config file.

Nginx

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using unrelated files like index.html or config.yaml.

Using default.conf which is for site configs, not main config.

The Nginx main config file is named nginx.conf. Copying this file replaces the default configuration.

4fill in blank

Fill both blanks to create a Docker command that runs Nginx with a custom config file from the host.

Nginx

docker run -d -p 8080:80 -v [1]:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf [2]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A/home/user/nginx.conf

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Mounting the wrong file path.

Using the wrong image name like apache.

The -v option mounts the host's /home/user/nginx.conf file into the container's config path. The image used is nginx.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to write a Docker Compose service for Nginx exposing port 80 and using a volume for config.

Nginx

services:
  web:
    image: [1]
    ports:
      - "[2]:80"
    volumes:
      - [3]:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using wrong image names like mysql.

Incorrect port mapping.

Wrong volume paths.

This Docker Compose snippet runs the nginx image, maps host port 8080 to container port 80, and mounts the host config file /home/user/nginx.conf inside the container.
