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/
