Nginx demo with docker compose

• Prerequisites:
  • Docker + Docker compose installed
• This setup will include two services: one for NGINX and another for a simple web server (e.g., an HTTP server running in a Python container).

• Main files:

  • nginx.conf: Contains basic NGINX configuration
  • html: Contains HTML file for web server running with python
  • docker-compose.yaml: To deploy 2 separated containers for this demo (Nginx + HTTP web server)

• Run the hands on:

  cd devops-basics/topics/nginx/basic
  docker-compose up -d
  

• Now you’ll have an NGINX server acting as a reverse proxy to another web server running in a separate Docker container.

• Visit: http://localhost:7080/ you could see:

  

  NOTE: You can change the localhost port from 7080 to any port works on your machine, and update the port definition in docker-compose.yaml as well.

• To cleanup resouce, run:

  cd devops-basics/topics/nginx/basic
  docker-compose down
