# Basic - Project: Website Code | GitHub | Web Server - Hosting
This repository contains a step-by-step guide to set up and host a static website using Git and Mini-httpd on a Linux server. The process demonstrates how to clone your website code from GitHub and serve it through a simple HTTP server.
## Prerequisites
- A Linux-based virtual machine (VM) like an Ubuntu server.
- A public IP address for accessing the hosted website.
- Git installed on the server.
## Steps to Set Up the Server
1. **Update the Machine**
```bash
sudo apt update -y
```
2. **Install Git**
```bash
sudo apt install git -y
```
3. **Install Mini-HTTPD (Web Server)**
```bash
sudo apt install mini-httpd -y
```
4. **Start and Enable Mini-HTTPD**
```bash
sudo systemctl start mini-httpd
sudo systemctl enable mini-httpd
```
5. **Navigate to the Web Root Directory**
```bash
cd /var/www/html
```
6. **Clone the Website Repository**
Clone your website code from GitHub:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/atulkamble/testwebsite.git
```
Alternatively, clone with `sudo` for permission issues:
```bash
sudo git clone https://github.com/atulkamble/testwebsite.git
```
7. **Move Website Files to the Web Directory**
```bash
sudo cp testwebsite/* .
sudo mv testwebsite/css /var/www/html
sudo mv testwebsite/js /var/www/html
sudo mv testwebsite/images /var/www/html
```
8. **Access the Website**
Replace the public IP with your Azure VM's public IP and visit the website in your browser:
```
http:///
```
Example:
```
http://98.70.89.130/
```
