# Nginx Web Server

Deploys a single Instance with Nginx installed and configured, attached to a private network with a floating IP. Ready for static site hosting or reverse proxy use.

#### Architecture:

* 1 Instance (Nano — 2 vCPU, 2 GB RAM)
* 1 private network (10.200.0.0/24)
* 1 floating IP (public access)
* Security group allows HTTP, HTTPS, SSH

#### What is automated:

* Instance creation with selected flavor and image
* Private network and subnet
* Router attached to public network
* Floating IP assigned to Instance
* Security group with ports 22, 80, 443
* Nginx installed and started

#### Before you launch:

Update these parameters in the template or at launch time:

| Parameter        | Default                | What to change                                                                |
| ---------------- | ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `key_name`       | `stack-test`           | **Required.** Replace with your SSH keypair name from **Compute- Key Pairs**. |
| `image`          | `Ubuntu 22.04 Updated` | Change only if you need a different OS image.                                 |
| `flavor`         | `Nano`                 | Change only if you want a different Instance size.                            |
| `volume_size`    | `30`                   | Increase if you need more disk space (in GB).                                 |
| `public_network` | `Public`               | Do not change unless your cloud has a different external network name.        |

{% hint style="info" %}
**key\_name is the only parameter you must change before launching.** Everything else works with defaults.
{% endhint %}

#### Nginx Template

Save as `nginx-server.yaml` and upload via Orchestration or Past Direct.
