Introduction

After successfully configuring the nginx server, we will study the deployment of Static Content, allowing users to access and use system information through nginx

Deploy

First, we need to get information about the system's files

ls -lh /

Result

# lrwxrwxrwx   1 root    root       7 Apr 16 02:10 bin -> usr/bin
# drwxr-xr-x   3 root    root    4.0K Apr 16 02:13 boot

# drwxr-xr-x   1 vagrant vagrant   38 Apr 21 09:23 vagrant
# drwxr-xr-x  14 root    root    4.0K Apr 21 08:34 var

Here, we see the srv directory, which is where specific data for deploying the application on the system is stored.

To deploy data for the application, we need to access the srv folder using the following command

cd /srv

Next, we clone the source via github

sudo git clone https://github.com/nglearns/demo.git

After getting the project from Git, we view the information in the application folder with the following command

ls -lh /srv/nglearns/demo

Result

# -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 960 Apr 21 11:27 index.html

Now we can see our application, next we will deploy the nginx Configuration File

events {

}

http {
  server {
    listen 80;
    server_name nglearns.test;
    root /srv/nglearns/demo;
  }
}

Here we use the root directive to tell nginx to deploy the demo application when users access the site or PORT 80 by running the default file index.html
