Note: You don't have ask permission to start solving the issue or get assigned, since these issues are supposed to be always open for new contributors. The actions-user bot will reset the file back to previous state for the next contributor after your commit is merged. So you can just simply start working with the issue right away!

How to get started

Navigate to the correct directory:

cd tasks/nginx/easy

Then open the nginx.conf file and start implementing your solution!

Description

In this issue, your task is to set up a basic NGINX web server on your local machine using the nginx.conf file.
The configuration should set up a simple web server that listens on port 8080 and serves index.html file from the /tasks/nginx/easy/ directory.

How to run

Run the following command in your Terminal to start NGINX with your custom configuration:

nginx -c /tasks/nginx/easy/nginx.conf

or

sudo nginx -c /tasks/nginx/easy/nginx.conf

Open a web browser and go to http://localhost:8080. You should see the "Hello, NGINX!" on the screen served from the index.html file.

If everything looks to work as expected, you are ready to make a pull request by committing the nginx.conf file.

Remember to also shut down the server after you are done:

nginx -s quit

Or, with administrative permissions:

sudo nginx -s quit

---

To work with this issue, you need to have NGINX installed to your local machine.
Check out README.md for more instructions of installing NGINX as well as how to make a pull request.
