Nginx + Bash Scripting Project | Web Server Monitoring, Authentication & Backup
In this video, we build a complete beginner-friendly DevOps mini project from scratch.
You will learn how to:
Install and configure Nginx
Protect your web server using Basic Authentication
Understand how htpasswd works
Write a Bash script to monitor web server health
Check HTTP status codes using curl
Run monitoring scripts continuously
Automate backups using cron jobs
Understand chmod and Linux file permissions
This project combines Linux fundamentals, shell scripting, web server configuration, and automation — exactly what every DevOps engineer should know.
By the end of this video, you will have a secure and monitored web server running with automated backups.
In the next video, we will deploy this setup on AWS EC2 and understand VPC, Security Groups, Public & Private IP in detail.
