If you have a folder containing an index.html file along with supporting assets like CSS, fonts, JS, and images, you can easily serve it using Nginx and access it via a domain like xiedong.me.

Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to get it done.

📁 Step 1: Organize Your Website Files

Place your website files in a directory, such as:

/var/www/xiedong

Make sure it contains:

/var/www/xiedong/
├── index.html
├── css/
├── js/
├── fonts/
└── images/

⚙️ Step 2: Configure Nginx

Edit your Nginx configuration file, e.g., /etc/nginx/conf.d/me.conf:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name xiedong.me www.xiedong.me;

    root /var/www/xiedong;
    index index.html;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
    }
}

This tells Nginx to serve files from the /var/www/xiedong directory and to display index.html by default.

🔐 Step 3: Set Permissions

Ensure the Nginx user (usually www-data) can read the files:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/xiedong
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/xiedong

🚀 Step 4: Test and Restart Nginx

Test your Nginx configuration:

sudo nginx -t

If there are no errors, restart Nginx:

sudo systemctl restart nginx

🌐 Step 5: Access Your Site

Now, navigate to:

http://xiedong.me

You should see your website live!
