Hello!
I've written a guide on how to easily get started with Lua web development inside a container using Docker.
Many complaints I've heard about using Lua+nginx is that you have to recompile Nginx and leave system packages behind. Another common complaint is too much "environment" is shared between different apps inside the same Nginx process, for example if one app error is malfunctioning/blocking it can create problems for all others.
My docker-setup tries to solve some of those problems by isolating a new nginx process in a reproducable environment per app.
I am very interested in feedback from this list on how to further improve this technique.
