Linux Web Serving Infrastructure

Comprehensive collection of tools, configurations, and applications for serving Linux applications over the web with enterprise-grade security, scalability, and automation.

🏗️ Architecture Overview

This infrastructure supports multiple deployment patterns:

• Static Web Applications (React, Vue, SPA)
• Real-time Services (WebSocket, Socket.IO)
• Microservices (Docker Compose orchestration)
• API Endpoints (RESTful services with authentication)
• Containerized Applications (Docker + Kubernetes ready)

🚀 Quick Start

Development Environment

# Clone and setup development environment
git clone <repository-url>
cd linux-web-serving-infrastructure

# Start development stack (Redis + App + Nginx)
cd docker-deployments/realtime-sync-server
docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d

# Run health checks
./scripts/health-check.sh

Production Deployment

# Deploy with full monitoring stack
cd docker-deployments/realtime-sync-server
./deploy.sh production

# Setup SSL certificates
./scripts/setup-ssl.sh your-domain.com
