Two-Site NGINX Prototype

Minimal nginx + FastCGI stack that spins up two demo sites (BridgeIT Consulting on :8080 and StellarHost on :8081). Use it as a reference while building your webserv.

---

Requirements

• Docker Engine with the Compose plugin (or Docker Desktop)
• make

---

Run it

git clone <repo>
cd nginx_prototype
make up-build        # build image + start containers

Then open:

• http://localhost:8080 (consulting site)
• http://localhost:8081 (hosting site)

Add 127.0.0.1 consulting.localhost hosting.localhost to /etc/hosts if your OS does not auto-resolve *.localhost.

To stop everything run make down. For a rebuild from scratch use make clean && make up-build.

---

Useful targets

Target	What it does
make up-build	Rebuild the image and start the stack
make up	Start the existing containers
make down	Stop the containers
make logs	Follow container logs
make clean	Remove containers + volumes

---

Quick sanity checks

Scenario	Command
Static GET	curl http://localhost:8080/
CGI echo	curl http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/echo.py
Upload form	curl -F "username=foo" -F "avatar=@file" http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/upload.py

Uploads land on the host under nginx/html/consultingco/uploads/.
