The simplest way to get Apache up and running is to use the official Docker container. To illustrate, in this article we will explain how to install Docker on CentOS 7 and Ubuntu 16.04, and spin up an Apache 2.4 container from Docker Hub. We will then use it to serve a simple web page from our home directory – all without the need to install a web server on our host.
