[root@dlp ~]#

vi Dockerfile

# create new

FROM fedora
MAINTAINER ServerWorld <admin@srv.world>

RUN dnf -y install nginx
RUN echo "Dockerfile Test on Nginx" > /usr/share/nginx/html/index.html

EXPOSE 80
CMD ["/usr/sbin/nginx", "-g", "daemon off;"]

# build image ⇒ docker build -t [image name]:[tag] .

[root@dlp ~]#

podman build -t srv.world/nginx_server:latest .

STEP 1: FROM fedora
STEP 2: MAINTAINER ServerWorld <admin@srv.world>
--> 26ed0688ebf
STEP 3: RUN dnf -y install nginx
.....
.....
STEP 6: CMD ["/usr/sbin/nginx", "-g", "daemon off;"]
STEP 7: COMMIT srv.world/nginx_server:latest
--> f0bde03754e
