I love that you based this off of https://hub.docker.com/_/busybox/ because it supports so many architectures. I want to use this image as the base for a Raspberry Pi Kubernetes tutorial I am building. Unfortunately, following your README will result is a unexecutable binary failure. It's easy to work around. I simply did:

# Note: this is a pattern that can be used for many containers, not just this one
url=https://github.com/crccheck/docker-hello-world
image=$(basename $url)
git clone $url
cd $image
docker build -t $image .
docker run -d --name web-test -p 80:8000 $image
docker ps
curl localhost:80

For most projects I'd say that knowing how to build from source is the user's responsibility. However, this is a hello-world, and that suggests a different kind of user. I think an extra paragraph in the README is in order.

You might also go so far as to push an ARM build out to the registry, but I don't want to ask for heroics. ;-)

Hi,
Please add arm64 support although it's hello world project.
Busybox (base image) has support arm64. I think just rebuild it will be ok. Thanks.

$ docker run -d --rm --name web-test -p 80:8000 crccheck/hello-world

not sure if busybox's version matches, but... https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/5/html/deployment_guide/s1-apache-config

I want:

• more urls to return 200 responses
• ability to return any status (curl /status/500 returns http 500)
• redirects

Thank you for this simple project to test the web server in docker environment. The only thing missing is a health check so that docker knows that the service is healthy or not.

a simple check for the status code 200 when the app is accessed should be OK.

Following the steps to install the hello-world web application, but in the exploer i can't load the page successfully.

I try to use Firefox/Internet Exploer and change the port #, but failed.
