This project was built to host a personal portfolio from Raspberry Pi hardware instead of relying on a traditional hosted platform. It highlights practical experience with Linux, Docker, NGINX, static site hosting, file mounts, and web publishing in a homelab environment.

• Container name: mysite
• Image: nginx:alpine
• Published port: 8082 -> 80
• Site content mount: /var/www/html/New -> /usr/share/nginx/html
• NGINX config mount: /opt/mysite-nginx/default.conf -> /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf

1. Built a static multi-page portfolio using HTML and CSS.
2. Stored the website files on the Raspberry Pi host so the content remains outside the container.
3. Started an NGINX container using the lightweight Alpine-based image.
4. Bind-mounted the portfolio directory into the default NGINX web root as read-only.
5. Bind-mounted a custom default.conf file to control how the site is served.
6. Published the container on host port 8082 so the site could be reached locally and through external publishing methods.
7. Updated the site by editing the host files directly, which allows changes to appear immediately without rebuilding the container image.
