Ensure Using 'WORKDIR' rather than 'RUN cd' command
RUN cd / does absolutely nothing. WORKDIR / changes the working directory for future commands.
Each RUN command runs in a new shell and a new environment (and technically a new container, though you won't usually notice this). The ENV and WORKDIR directives before it affect how it starts up. If you have a RUN step that just changes directories, that will get lost when the shell exits, and the next step will start in the most recent WORKDIR of the image.

CMD cd /usr/share/nginx/html && sed -e s/Docker/"$AUTHOR"/ Hello_docker.html > index.html ; nginx -g 'daemon off;'
