I've recently learnt how to use a website from Start Bootstrap and deploy it online using AWS EC2. (Read my previous articles to learn how to set up your AWS EC2).In this article, I'll walk you through all the steps I took to complete the task.
What you'll need
StartBootstrap Template : [startbootstrap.com(https://startbootstrap.com/)
AWS EC2 instance
Your local terminal
Linux Packages Nginx
Step1: Launch an EC2 Instance
A. Log in to your AWS Management Console
B. Go to EC2 --> Instance --> Launch Instance --> Choose Ubuntu Server --> Create Key pair --> Launch Instance
Step 2: Startbootstrap
A. Go on, startbootstrap.com (https://startbootstrap.com/)
B. Choose any templates of your choice
C. Download the templates to your local computer
Step 3: Connect the folder you downloaded from startbootstrap using the scp command
"chmod 400 mykey.pem" --> This command changes the file permission
ssh -i "mykey.pem" ubuntu@your-public-ip- Send the zip file to your EC2 instance
Confirm if the zip folder is already on your EC2 instance by changing directory to the folder you created if you create on and using ls to check if the folder is now in your instance.
**
Step 4: Unzip the folder using Linux packages
**
Step 5: Installing Nginx
- Use this command: "Sudo apt install nginx -y" to install nginx
- Copy and paste your EC2 public IP addresses to your browser
- You should get a welcome page
Step 6: moving your folder from your EC2 instance to the browser
- Use the command "sudo mv * /var/www/hmtl/"
-
After running the command, you can copy and paste or type your public IP address into your browser, and you will see a layout with your own IP address; so, you have completed the task.
Thanks a lot for reading! If you notice anything I could improve or explain better, please don’t hesitate to drop a comment. I’d really appreciate it!
