A test suite is baked into nginx-proxy's Dockerfile. You can run it by building
the test layer: docker build --target test .
Notable differences from the official nginx container
- mo is used to render nginx configuration templates so that image startup
is aborted if a template variable is missing. This is an improvement over the
official image, which uses
envsubst. - alpine's official nginx package is used in order to ensure compatibility with distro-provided nginx modules. This is another enhancement, as the official image cannot be used with alpine's nginx modules.
