๐ Web Server using Docker
This project demonstrates how to containerize a web server with Docker as part of my DevOps internship at CodeAlpha. It highlights the power of containers in simplifying deployments, ensuring consistency across environments, and providing an efficient way to run web applications.
๐ Key Features
Fully containerized web server for hosting static web content
Lightweight and portable, runs seamlessly on any system with Docker
Simple, beginner-friendly structure showcasing Docker fundamentals
Scalable foundation for future DevOps and cloud-based projects
๐ ๏ธ Technologies
Docker โ for containerization
Nginx / Apache HTTP Server โ as the web server
HTML, CSS, JavaScript โ for static website content
๐ Project Overview
The project is structured to clearly separate the Docker configuration from the application files.
A Dockerfile defines the image for the web server
Static web content (HTML, CSS, JS) is served by the container
The container maps ports to allow external access to the application
๐ฏ Objectives
Gain practical experience with Docker images and containers
Learn how to deploy and manage a web server using containers
Understand port mapping, isolation, and portability
Build a foundation for CI/CD and cloud deployments
๐ธ Demonstration
When the container is running, the web server delivers the static website to users through the browser. (You can include a screenshot of your webpage here to make it visually appealing.)
๐ Learning Outcomes
By completing this project, I learned how to:
Write and use Dockerfiles effectively
Build and run containers for real-world applications
Serve web content from a containerized environment
Apply containerization concepts to DevOps practices
