To allow for fallthrough of environment variables such as AP_SERVER and AP_PORT, in nginx.conf, we must have envsubst, which already comes with alpine-fat, which we are using.

Unfortunately, in order to achieve this, we must make a few changes:

The nginx.conf file must be turned into a template file
envsubst must be called on the template file before execution, which requires
A new entrypoint script must be written which will run envsubst and also set default values to any unset variables, eg setting AP_PORT to `80'.

This is unnecessary due to other changes.
