The template will be rendered when container is created.\n\nSave the following into a new file index.html.tmpl.\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```html\n \n Hello Docker\n \n

Hello {{ env \"HELLO\" }}! I'm service {{ .Service.Name }}.

\n \n \n```\n\nSave the index.html.tmpl file as a swarm config named homepage. Provide parameter --template-driver and specify golang as template engine.\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```console\n $ docker config create --template-driver golang homepage index.html.tmpl\n```\n\nCreate a service that runs Nginx and has access to the environment variable HELLO and to the config.\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```console\n $ docker service create \\\n --name hello-template \\\n --env HELLO=\"Docker\" \\\n --config source=homepage,target=/usr/share/nginx/html/index.html \\\n --publish published=3000,target=80 \\\n nginx:alpine\n```\n\nVerify that the service is operational: you can reach the Nginx server, and that the correct output is being served.\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```console\n $ curl http://0.0.0.0:3000\n\n \n Hello Docker\n \n

Hello Docker! I'm service hello-template.
