Hi. I am new to here and web stuff, haven't used apache before. Today I installed nginx for the first time, but all this stuff seems so hard to me. Why does it have to be so hard and complicated. Anyways, to begin with, I want to host a static website on my pc. It is simple html file that doesn't even have pictures in it, just some text. And I want it to be accessible from the internet. Anybody who type http://my.ip.add.ress in their browser must receive my webpage. This is how it works right? but don't know how to configure nginx to do that. please help. so far what i did, I edited index.html so it contains my text, when i type localhost in google chrome, that text is shown, but my friend who lives in other country says it doesn't work. how to make mywebpage go online?

Hi, anybody here ? forum seems very passive.

Try to read the /etc/nginx/conf.d/default you might get an idear there :)

else please read the https://nginx.org/en/docs/ there are plenty of starter guides
