Introduction to NGINX
Understand and Deploy Layer 4/Layer 7 Load Balancing, WebSockets, HTTPS, HTTP/2, TLS 1.3 with NGINX (With Docker)

1. NGINX as a Web Server

_create a directory/folder for your nginx implementation:_

`mkdir nginx-container`

`cd nginx-container`

_the following example will spin up nginx on the default port commonly used for http (both the specified port and_ **--name ng1** are optional)_

`docker run --name ng1 -p 80:80 -d nginx`

_view in CLI or browser:_

- `curl http://localhost:80`
- _or_
_search_ `localhost/ ` _in your browser_

(you should see the nginx welcome page)

_stop the running demo container:_
`docker stop ng1`

_delete the demo container:_
`docker rm ng1`

_create a directory/folder for your html file:_
`mkdir html`
`cd html`
`vim index.html` /editor of your choice

_add your index page e.g:_
######
```

Hello Mars

```

_setup new container:_

(important:
make sure to replace this next section: `/home/desk/Desktop/nginx-container/html:` with your own directory path to the new html folder)

```
docker run --name ng1 -p 80:80 -v /home/desk/Desktop/nginx-container/html:/usr/share/nginx/html -d nginx
```

test the new html directory content/page is being served instead of the default nginx welcome page:

`curl http://localhost:80`
- _or_
_search_ `localhost/ ` _in your browser_

#### (so far.. nginx is being implemented as a simple web server)

The next part of this course: https://www.udemy.com/course/nginx-crash-course/ demonstrates how to override the default configuration of nginx setting it up as a reverse proxy which will point to 3 new instances of your continerised app, nginx will be configured to balance the load between them
