Configuring your projects

Inside the root folder, there is a folder named projects. This folder is where you will put all you project folders. After that, you need to create a new server block inside the files on the folder confs. You can you the examples inside the file. If you want an http project, use the file http.conf, if it's https, https.conf. After that, you need to restart the docker container.

PS.: Even if you put all your projects inside projects folder, inside the nginx conf, on the server block the root folder of the project will always be /usr/share/nginx/YOUR-PROJECT-NAME

$ sudo docker-compose restart
