Nginx Docker container restart

— DevOps, Server, Docker — 1 min read

1docker restart <container-id>

Docker doesn’t start the nginx service itself

We need to start nginx server by:

1docker exec -it <container-id> service nginx restart

The we can check whether the nginx service is running or not by:

1ducky@titan-rtx:~$ docker exec -it <container-id> ps -ef|grep nginx
