Angie Docker Images#

To run Angie in a Docker container, use the images from our registry: docker.angie.software. They are built based on our binary packages and the official base images of several operating systems.

Note

Also note the Docker module, which implements dynamic updating of upstream server groups based on Docker container labels.

Minimal Images#

angie:minimal: version 1.10.1 based on Alpine 3.21.
angie:<VERSION>-minimal: specified version based on Alpine 3.21.

These images include only the angie package.

Templated Images#

angie:templated: version 1.10.1 based on Alpine 3.21.
angie:<VERSION>-templated: specified version based on Alpine 3.21.

These images set the following environment variables:

ENV ANGIE_BINARY="angie"
ENV ANGIE_CONFIG_TEMPLATE="/etc/angie/angie.conf.t"
ENV ANGIE_ERROR_LOG_SEVERITY="notice"
ENV ANGIE_FEATURE_RELOAD="on"
ENV ANGIE_FEATURE_TEMPLATE="on"
ENV ANGIE_LOAD_MODULES=""
ENV ANGIE_PID_FILE="/run/angie/angie.pid"
ENV ANGIE_WORKER_CONNECTIONS="65536"
ENV ANGIE_WORKER_RLIMIT_NOFILE="65536"

These variables can be used to customize the container behavior:

ANGIE_BINARY: Allows running the debug version.
ANGIE_ERROR_LOG_SEVERITY: Sets the severity level for entries in the main error log file.
ANGIE_LOAD_MODULES: Loads one or more available modules (all modules are included in the image). Specify a comma-separated list of modules without spaces.
ANGIE_PID_FILE: Sets an alternative location for the process identifier (PID) file.
ANGIE_FEATURE_TEMPLATE: Generates Angie configuration using the gomplate tool at container startup. Parameters used: --input-dir /etc/angie/templates and --output-dir /etc/angie.
ANGIE_FEATURE_RELOAD: Enables handling of SIGHUP, SIGQUIT, and SIGTERM signals.

Examples#

The configuration used in templated images applies the variables approximately as follows:

...
{{- if has $modules "zstd"}}
# package: angie-module-zstd
load_module modules/ngx_http_zstd_filter_module.so;
load_module modules/ngx_http_zstd_static_module.so;
{{end}}

user  angie;
worker_processes  auto;
worker_rlimit_nofile {{.Env.ANGIE_WORKER_RLIMIT_NOFILE}};

error_log  /var/log/angie/error.log {{.Env.ANGIE_ERROR_LOG_SEVERITY}};
pid        {{.Env.ANGIE_PID_FILE}};

events {
    worker_connections  {{.Env.ANGIE_WORKER_CONNECTIONS}};
}

http {
    include       /etc/angie/mime.types;
    default_type  application/octet-stream;

    log_format  main  ...

Running a container with shell access:

$ docker run -it --pull always --rm --entrypoint=sh \
  docker.angie.software/angie:templated

Run Angie with custom connection parameters and modules (the command angie -T will output the complete configuration):

$ docker run -it --rm -e ANGIE_WORKER_CONNECTIONS=4 \
  -e ANGIE_LOAD_MODULES="auth-jwt,vod" \
  docker.angie.software/angie:templated angie -T

Start a container with a specified name and additional modules:

$ docker run -it --rm --name angie-test \
  -e ANGIE_WORKER_CONNECTIONS=4 \
  -e ANGIE_LOAD_MODULES="auth-jwt,vod" \
  docker.angie.software/angie:templated

Reload the configuration of a running container:

$ docker kill -s HUP angie-test

Images with Extra Modules#

angie:latest: version 1.10.1 based on Alpine 3.21.
angie:<VERSION>, angie:<VERSION>-alpine: specified version based on Alpine 3.21.
angie:<VERSION>-debian: specified version based on Debian 12.
angie:<VERSION>-rocky: specified version based on Rocky Linux 9.
angie:<VERSION>-ubuntu: specified version based on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.

These include the following packages (if they were released for the Angie version that the image was built with):

Running#

To start a container with Angie on port 8080, providing read-only access to the static files directory /var/www/ and the configuration file angie.conf located in the current working directory:

$ docker run --rm --name angie -v /var/www:/usr/share/angie/html:ro \
    -v $(pwd)/angie.conf:/etc/angie/angie.conf:ro -p 8080:80 -d docker.angie.software/angie:latest

$ curl -I localhost:8080

    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
    Server: Angie/1.10.1

Such configurations are suitable for local development and configuration.

Building Custom Images#

You can also build your own image based on a supported distribution, adding the Angie layer from packages or source code. Examples of corresponding Dockerfile files:

Debian, building Angie from packages#
