The easiest way to set up and manage reverse proxies is to use Nginx and Docker. This guide sets up two sample web services inside Docker containers and a Nginx reverse proxy for those services. In this tutorial, you will learn how to set up a reverse proxy on Docker for two sample web servers.

FAQ on the LTS Docker Image Portfolio

Are these Official Images on Docker Hub?

Docker Hub is the world's easiest way to create, manage, and deliver your teams' container applications. Get Started Today for Free. Some LTS Docker Images have a free five year maintenance period, based on the underlying Ubuntu LTS free standard security maintenance period. All LTS Images receive Extended Security Maintenance from Canonical and during that period are available to existing Canonical customers only, through Docker Hub. Sudo docker run -name docker-nginx -p 80:80 -d nginx We added the -d flag to run this container in the background. The output should simply be the new container’s ID.

Several images from the Canonical LTS Docker Image Portfolio are free Docker Official Image versions during their five year standard security maintenance period.

Is the LTS Docker Image Portfolio a free or a commercial offering?

Both. Some LTS Docker Images have a free five year maintenance period, based on the underlying Ubuntu LTS free standard security maintenance period. All LTS Images receive Extended Security Maintenance from Canonical and during that period are available to existing Canonical customers only, through Docker Hub. As with Ubuntu interim releases, ongoing development images are released regularly and receive free security updates while they are the current version.

Where are the images?

On Amazon ECR Public and Docker Hub, images are provided in three groups:

Ubuntu Docker Nginx Ssl

Is there a long-term commitment? How long?

LTS Images are security-maintained for the full ten year period of their underlying Ubuntu LTS release. Some applications will have versions on multiple Ubuntu LTS versions. In each case, the image is maintained for the full life of the underlying Ubuntu LTS.

Can I use these images to build other applications?

Docker Nginx Ubuntu 18.04

Yes. Our hardened images are optimised for the developer experience, layering, and minimality. Each image is engineered to be clean, without layering artifacts, making it an ideal foundation for enterprise continuous integration and golden images. For ISVs, Canonical offers embedded terms for redistribution.
