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

   sudo apt update -y

2. Install Git

   sudo apt install git -y

3. Install Mini-HTTPD (Web Server)

   sudo apt install mini-httpd -y

4. Start and Enable Mini-HTTPD

   sudo systemctl start mini-httpd
   sudo systemctl enable mini-httpd

5. Navigate to the Web Root Directory

   cd /var/www/html

6. Clone the Website Repository Clone your website code from GitHub:

   git clone https://github.com/atulkamble/testwebsite.git

   Alternatively, clone with sudo for permission issues:

   sudo git clone https://github.com/atulkamble/testwebsite.git

7. Move Website Files to the Web Directory

   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://<your-public-ip>/
   

   Example:

   http://98.70.89.130/
