nginx-php is a traditionally packaged version of nginx with php-fpm installed on a single container. This allows for horizontally scalable versions of a PHP based application.
By default, you can start a single PHP application for a single site by putting the files in /usr/share/nginx/html/. By doing this, you would create your own container and this will allow you to scale your application by allowing you to start your application any amount of times.
For an example, see the MediaWiki Dockerfile.
To start this container on port 80 and 443
docker run -d -p 80:80 -p 443:443 simplyintricate/nginx
Another option is to add your custom nginx configuration by mounting it to /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/, you can do so as such
docker run -d p 80:80 -p 443:443 -v <sites-enabled dir>:/etc/nginx/sites-enabled simplyintricate/nginx
You may choose to add the certificate and private key for your site to the nginx. In this case, you should override the default.conf file to include the necessary ssl directives to enable SSL. You may then either mout the SSL certificates and keys to your host, or add them in.
