Supporting multiple files in docker container

I am having trouble supporting multiple files inside the swaggerapi/swagger-ui docker container.

Here is my docker compose:

  swaggerui:
    image: swaggerapi/swagger-ui
    ports:
      - "7000:8080"
    environment:
      - SWAGGER_JSON=/swagger/swagger.yml
    volumes:
      - ./Swagger:/swagger

I would expect this to serve swagger.yml out of the /swagger directory that is mounted.

docker exec -it -name- ls swagger I can see all my files here, swagger.yml, user.swagger.yml, etc

But this is not the root of the nginx web server running in the container:

    location / {
      alias            /usr/share/nginx/html/;

Looks like swagger.yml is copied over to /user/share/nginx/html/. This means that my files I want to reference in my swagger.yml are not available to be served by nginx.

This doesn’t seem like it should be the default behavior, how can I support loading in the other files found in my mounted volume? Perferably without having to modify my swagger.yml to have a strange path I would only use in docker (we are using it only for local). It should also use the volume as a source so I can make changes locally.

Here’s what I ended up doing, combining the knowledge from above:

docker run -p 80:8080 \                                                                                                                                 
  -e URLS_PRIMARY_NAME=FIRST \                                                                                                                             
  -e URLS="[ \                                                                                                                                           
    { url: 'docs/first.yml', name: 'FIRST' } \                                                                                                               
    , { url: 'docs/second.yml', name: 'SECOND' } \                                                                                                             
  ]" \                                                                                                                                                   
  -v `pwd`:/usr/share/nginx/html/docs/ \                                                                                                                 
  swaggerapi/swagger-ui

To solve the dependency problem nginx could be updated to serve all .yml and .json files from a mount
