# Basic Web Application Deployment

This project demonstrates the deployment of a basic web application using Docker, Nginx, and an AWS EC2 instance.

## Setup

1. **AWS EC2 Instance Setup:**
- Launch an EC2 instance with Ubuntu.
- Open ports 22 (SSH) and 80 (HTTP) in the security group.

2. **Install Docker:**
- Update the package list and install Docker:
```bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y docker.io
sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker
```

3. **Build and Deploy:**
- Create project files (HTML and Dockerfile).
- Build the Docker image:
```bash
sudo docker build -t my-webapp .
```
- Run the Docker container:
```bash
sudo docker run -d -p 80:80 my-webapp
```

4. **Verify Deployment:**
- Navigate to the public DNS of your EC2 instance to view the deployed web application.

## Optional step: Set Up Portainer for Docker Management

Portainer provides a graphical user interface for managing Docker containers. This step is optional but recommended for users who prefer a UI for Docker management.

1. **Pull and Run the Portainer Docker Image:**
- Pull the Portainer image:
```bash
sudo docker pull portainer/portainer-ce
```
- Run Portainer with Docker:
```bash
sudo docker run -d -p 9000:9000 -p 9443:9443 --name portainer \
--restart always \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
-v portainer_data:/data \
portainer/portainer-ce
```

2. **Access Portainer:**
- Open your browser and navigate to `http://your-ec2-public-dns:9000` for HTTP or `https://your-ec2-public-dns:9443` for HTTPS (ensure you set up a secure connection if using HTTPS).

3. **Initial Portainer Setup:**
- You will be prompted to create an admin user with a password. Complete this setup to access Portainer’s dashboard.

4. **Using Portainer:**
- Log in to Portainer with the admin credentials you set up.
- Explore Docker containers, images, networks, and volumes through the Portainer dashboard.

5. **Updating Portainer:**
- To update Portainer, stop and remove the existing container, and pull the latest image:
```bash
sudo docker stop portainer
sudo docker rm portainer
sudo docker pull portainer/portainer-ce
sudo docker run -d -p 9000:9000 -p 9443:9443 --name portainer \
--restart always \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
-v portainer_data:/data \
portainer/portainer-ce
```
