Docker container for Mapserver
docker build -t kartoza/mapserver .
or using the build script
./build.sh
You can also use build arguments like
docker build --build-arg MAPSERVER_VERSION=branch-7-6 -t kartoza/mapserver:7.6
docker run -d -p 8182:80 --name mapserver -v `pwd`/map:/map kartoza/mapserver
When Docker is forwarded as localhost simply open the following URL:
http://localhost:8182/cgi-bin/mapserv
When if you have docker-machine in place check its IP with to following command and replace the localhost with it.
docker-machine ip
To make sure the url specified above works the web browser should give a response:
No query information to decode. QUERY_STRING is set, but empty.
A quick way to access the contents of your mapfile in a browser can be achived by:
http://localhost:8182/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/map/generic.map&mode=browse&template=openlayers&layers=all
The displayed map should look like that:
Replace generic.map with the name of your mapserver mapfile.
To enter the container with a bash interface simple switch from daemon mode to interactive mode
docker run -it -v `pwd`/map:/map kartoza/mapserver bash
There you'll see the mapped /map folder and can use the useful cli tool like

mapserv -v
