# Provisioning an HTTP Fileserver

Spin up an NGINX container with __Hashicorp Nomad__ that servers your files via HTTP. You will have to change the `server_name` to your domain or local IP. Run the job file and navigate your browser to port `8888`:

```bash

server {

    listen 8080;

    listen [::]:8080;

    server_name  my.domain.com;

    location ~ /secret/.* {

	auth_basic "Restricted";

        auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/conf.d/.htpasswd; 

        root   /usr/share/nginx/html;

    }

    location / {

        root   /usr/share/nginx/html;

        index  index.html index.htm;

    }

}

```

Nomad will create a text file in both the `/secret/` and `/public/` directory for testing:

## NGINX Server Configuration

Check [nginx_docker_ingress](https://github.com/mpolinowski/nginx_docker_ingress) on how to configure NGINX. The configuration is automatically generated by Nomad - but I did remove the TLS configuration for this example.

## Service Check

The uses Consul to verify that the web service is available - if you don't use either remove the `check` or switch the `provider` to `nomad`:

```bash

check {

    name     = "HTTP Health"

    path     = "/"

    type     = "http"

    protocol = "http"

    interval = "10s"

    timeout  = "2s"

}

```
