Steps to Follow:

1. Clone the Repository:

   • Clone this repository to your local directory:

     git clone https://github.com/AbhiGT997/nginx-custom-websites.git

   • Navigate to the cloned repository:

     cd nginx-simple

2. Select and Copy the Project:

   • Navigate to the project files directory and select the project you want to deploy on Nginx:

     cd project-files/projects

   • Copy the selected project folder to the main directory:

     cp -r ~/nginx-simple/project-files/projects/<project-name> ~/nginx-simple

3. Edit the Dockerfile:

   • Open the Dockerfile in Nano:

     nano Dockerfile

   • Replace the <replace-with-folder-name> placeholder with the name of the selected project folder.
   • Ensure the folder containing HTML, CSS, JS, etc., files is in the /nginx-simple directory or customize the Dockerfile accordingly.

4. Build the Docker Image:

   • Build the Docker image using the following command:

     docker build -t nginx:1.0 .

5. Run the Docker Container:

   • Run the container with the following command:

     docker run -d -t --name nginx-custom-webcontent -p 7000:80 nginx:1.0

   • You can use a custom name and port if needed. In the example above, 7000 is the local port and 80 is the container port.
