I use ADD command in Dockerfile to add my nginx.conf to /etc/nginx dir.

Answer 1

restarting the container is not advisable when you initialize Docker Swarm because it may remove the nginx service. So if you need an alternative aside docker restart; You can go inside the container and just run nginx -s reload

For example, in docker env, if you have the container named nginx

docker exec  nginx -s reload
