    You installed apache and you are trying to run httpd. Refer this to read the difference between apache2 and httpd. You can run following commands to install apache and run a static hello world page on local host.

    $ sudo yum update -y
$ sudo yum install -y httpd
$ sudo service httpd start
$ echo "<html><h1>Hello World!</h1></html>" > test
$ cat test > /var/www/html/index.html

    You don’t need a container for hosting a static website. S3 is a better choice for this.

    If you want to do it as an exercice, considere this simple nginx solution, see: https://hub.docker.com/_/nginx

    You have an example in the section : Hosting some simple static content

    FROM nginx:alpine
COPY . /usr/share/nginx/html

    Remember that you usually don’t start a container then start a service inside (for testing and debugging). Entrypoint and command are what start your service, aka what you would manually do.
