How to make docker image from droplet

Posted on January 16, 2021

I have an Ubuntu 18.04 droplet with LEMP stack and my app. I would like to remove mysql and create a custom docker image having the OS, NGINX, PHP and my app.

Is there an easy way to do this without creating from scratch with docker commands?

(Removal of MySQL is so as to dockerize it separately.)

Good idea on separating MySQL. This way you can treat its special needs for data storage.
