h5bp Lighttpd Server Docker Image is a base Dockerfile that allows you to build an Lighttpd server for your own app with the best practices in mind.

You can download the image from the docker hub

docker pull patrickkettner/h5bp-server-configs-lighttpd

or build the included Dockerfile from within the project

docker build -t patrickkettner/h5bp-server-configs-lighttpd .

docker run -d -p 49000:80 patrickkettner/h5bp-server-configs-lighttpd

Where 49000 is the local port, and 80 is the port lighttpd is listening on

Docker only runs on linux, and as a result, if you want to run this on OS X or Windows, you will need to virtualize a linux host. That additional level of indirection breaks port forwarding.

boot2docker suggests using VMWare's port mapping feature to fix this

With the virtual machine installed and stopped, you can run the following

for i in {49000..49900}; do
  VBoxManage modifyvm "boot2docker-vm" --natpf1 "tcp-port$i,tcp,,$i,,$i";
  VBoxManage modifyvm "boot2docker-vm" --natpf1 "udp-port$i,udp,,$i,,$i";
done

to forward the VMs ports 49000 to 49900 to the same port on localhost.

In order to reverse this change, simply run

for i in {49000..49900}; do
  VBoxManage modifyvm "boot2docker-vm" --natpf1 delete "tcp-port$i";
  VBoxManage modifyvm "boot2docker-vm" --natpf1 delete "udp-port$i";
done
