Let's play with nginx and serve a static website. ;)
Step 1: Install nginx
sudo apt install nginx
Step 2: Update hosts file to add our site name
sudo vim /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 nginx-site.com
Step 3: Unlink default site
cd /etc/nginx/sites-enabled
sudo unlink default
Step 4: Create folder for the site
cd /var/www
sudo mkdir nginx-site.com
sudo chmod o+w nginx-site.com
touch nginx-site.com/index.html
echo "coming soon" > nginx-site.com/index.html
Step 5: Configure nginx
Now we need to nginx where to find our site.- sites-available - contains configurations for available sites
- sites-enabled - contains links to configurations in sites-available. Nginx uses this location to read and run.
sudo vim /etc/nginx/sites-available/nginx-site.com
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server;
root /var/www/nginx-site.com;
index index.html;
server_name nginx-site.com www.nginx-site.com;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
}
Create symbolic link
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/nginx-site.com /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/nginx-site.com
Test the configuration and restart nginx
sudo nginx -t
sudo systemctl restart nginx
Visit our website in the brower
nginx-site.com
