Docker Images#

To run Angie in a Docker container, use an image from our registry:

docker.angie.software/angie
docker.angie.software/angie:latest
docker.angie.software/angie:1.3.0
docker.angie.software/angie:1.3.0-alpine
docker.angie.software/angie:1.3.0-centos
docker.angie.software/angie:1.3.0-debian
docker.angie.software/angie:1.3.0-oracle
docker.angie.software/angie:1.3.0-rocky
docker.angie.software/angie:1.3.0-ubuntu

To start a container with Angie at port 8080, enabling read-only access to the /var/www/ static file directory and the angie.conf file 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/1.3.0
    Date: 19.09.2023 10:42:54 GMT
    Content-Type: text/html
    Content-Length: 543
    Last-Modified: Fri, 28 Jul 2023 14:12:23 GMT
    Connection: keep-alive
    ETag: "64c3ccc7-21f"
    Accept-Ranges: bytes

Setups like this can be used for local development and configuration.

Also, you can build your own image based on a supported distro, adding the Angie layer with packages or source code. A couple of such Dockerfile examples:

Debian, using Angie packages#

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

Building from sources#

It is recommended to install Angie from packages. If, for any reason, you need an own build, archived sources are available for download:

.tar.gz from site

$ curl -O https://download.angie.software/files/angie-1.3.0.tar.gz

Sources are available on GitHub as well

Unarchive the sources:

$ tar xzf angie-1.3.0.tar.gz

Build to be run inside sources directory

$ cd angie-1.3.0

The build is configured using the configure script. It defines various aspects of the system, including the methods Angie is allowed to use for connection processing. At the end it creates a Makefile.

The configure script supports the linked parameters.

After configuration, Angie is compiled and installed using make.

$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install

--without-stream_map_module
disables building the stream_map module that creates variables with values depending on values of other variables.

--without-stream_return_module
disables building the stream_return module that sends some specified value to the client and then closes the connection.

--without-stream_set_module

--without-stream_split_clients_module
disables building the stream_split_clients module that creates variables for A/B testing.

--without-stream_upstream_hash_module
disables building a module that implements the hash load balancing method.

--without-stream_upstream_least_conn_module
disables building a module that implements the least_conn load balancing method.

--without-stream_upstream_random_module
disables building a module that implements the random load balancing method.

--without-stream_upstream_zone_module
disables building a module that makes it possible to store run-time state of an upstream group in a shared memory zone.

`mail`#

Enable additional modules#

--with-mail / --with-mail=dynamic
enables POP3/IMAP4/SMTP mail proxy server.

--with-mail_ssl_module
enables building a module that adds the SSL/TLS protocol support to the mail proxy server. The OpenSSL library is required to build and run this module.

Disable standard modules#

--without-mail_imap_module
disables the IMAP protocol in mail proxy server.

--without-mail_pop3_module
disables the POP3 protocol in mail proxy server.

--without-mail_smtp_module

Compilation parameters#

--with-cpp_test_module
enables building the ngx_cpp_test_module.

--add-module=path
enables an external module.

--add-dynamic-module=path
enables an external dynamic module.
