High Performance Nginx Qrcode Server

High Performance QR Code Server with Nginx, Close to the size of the official Nginx Docker Image (~ 55MB).

Quick Start

docker run --rm -it -p 8080:80 soulteary/nginx-qrcode-server

open browser, visit localhost:8080

Docker Images

Docker images that can be used:

• soulteary/nginx-qrcode-server
• soulteary/nginx-qrcode-server:memcached
• soulteary/nginx-qrcode-server:2022.08.22
• soulteary/nginx-qrcode-server:2022.08.22-memcached

Docker Compose

If you have compose locally, you can also use the docker compose or docker-compose command to quickly start the service:

Simplify startup commands with compose:

docker compose up -d

Start the service with memcached for higher performance:

docker compose -f docker-compose.memcached.yml up -d
