Nginx-Memcached

Build of Nginx with memcache module.

Why we need to use this image

In case of Mid/Large scale , A lot of requests will hit the application directly ,so I build this docker image using Nginx with Memcached as Caching Layer Full page cache . to retreive requests from our memcached server if our page is not in cache once we hit Page , nginx can set the key and any new request in the same page will served from our cache server

How to use this image

Run container with specific nginx.conf

$ docker run --name web-nginx -v /path/nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:ro -d -p 8080:80 linuxawy/nginx-memcache

You can hit http://localhost:8080 or http://host-ip:8080 in your browser.

Sample Configuration for memcached module with nginx:

   http {
     upstream backend {
       server memcached:11211;

       # a pool with at most 1024 connections
       # and do not distinguish the servers:
       keepalive 1024;
     }

     server {
         ...
         location /memc {
             set $memc_cmd get;
             set $memc_key $arg_key;
             memc_pass backend;
         }
     }
   }
