My build does not include my web site directive - docker

Question

I'm not sure where I went off of the rails but I am trying to create a container for my web site. First I start off with a file called 'default':
server {
root /var/www;
index index.html;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
}
}
var/www/ points to my web content with index.html being the default file for the content.
Then I create my very simple Dockerfile:
FROM httpd
MAINTAINER Jay Blanchard
RUN httpd
ADD default /home/OARS/
In my Dockerfile I reference the default file from above, thinking this is what is needed to point to my web content. The default file happens to be in the same directory as the Docker file, but I give the path /home/OARS/ as I have seen in some examples.
The build is successful:
foo#bar:/home/OARS$ sudo docker build -t oars-example .

And the run appears to be successful:
foo#bar:/home/OARS$ sudo docker run -d -P oars-example

9598c176a706 oars-example:latest "httpd-foreground" 6 seconds ago Up 5 seconds 0.0.0.0:32776->80/tcp jovial_fermat
Yet when I go to the IP (with port 32776, there is something running on port 80 already) I do not get the index page I've specified in /var/www, but I do get the default index page from the Apache server.
Here is the log from the server:
AH00558: httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 000.000.000.000. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message

I've changed the IP addresses in the logs just to keep things kosher.
Am I missing something obvious to make sure my web site files are being run in the container?

Answer 1

First, you are trying to use a nginx config file within an Apache container.
Then, according to the base container documentation, the correct way to specify a config file is:
# Dockerfile
FROM httpd
COPY ./my-httpd.conf /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf
