+# Mycelium Cloud - Nginx Static Site Example
+
+A complete, standalone example for deploying a static website using Nginx on Mycelium Cloud Kubernetes cluster.
+
+## 📁 What This Contains
+
+This directory contains everything you need to deploy a static website:
+
+- **nginx-static.md** - This guide
+- **nginx-static-deployment.yaml** - Nginx deployment with custom content
+- **nginx-static-service.yaml** - Service configuration
+- **default-index.html** - Default website content (used to create ConfigMap)
+
+## 🚀 Quick Start (2 minutes)
+
+```bash
+# 1. Deploy the application
+kubectl apply -f nginx-static-deployment.yaml
+
+# 2. Create ConfigMap with default content
+kubectl create configmap nginx-static-content --from-file=index.html=default-index.html
+
+# 3. Create the service
+kubectl apply -f nginx-static-service.yaml
+
+# 3. Access your static site via port-forward
+
+**Option 1: Simple (Recommended)**
+```bash
+# Keep terminal open, see connection logs (Ctrl+C to stop)
+kubectl port-forward service/nginx-static-service 8080:80
+```
+
+**Option 2: Advanced (Background)**
+```bash
+# Start in background
+nohup kubectl port-forward service/nginx-static-service 8080:80 > /dev/null 2>&1 &
+
+# Kill when done
+lsof -ti:8080 | xargs kill -9
+```
+
+# 4. Visit http://localhost:8080
+curl http://localhost:8080
+```
+
+**Expected Result:** You'll see a custom static website served by Nginx.
+
+## 📋 What You'll Learn
+
+- ✅ Nginx container deployment
+- ✅ Static content serving
+- ✅ ConfigMap usage for custom HTML
+- ✅ Service creation and networking
+- ✅ Port-forwarding for external access (Mycelium Cloud method)
+- ✅ Basic nginx configuration patterns
+
+## 🏗️ Architecture
+
+This example demonstrates:
+
+```
+┌─────────────────┐ ┌─────────────────┐ ┌─────────────────┐
+│ User │ │ Port-Forward │ │ Nginx │
+│ (Browser) │────│ localhost:8080 │────│ Pod │
+│ │ │ │ │ :80 │
+└─────────────────┘ └─────────────────┘ └─────────────────┘
+ │
+ ┌───────────────┐
+ │ ConfigMap │
+ │ (HTML/CSS) │
+ └───────────────┘
+```
+
+**Components:**
+- **Nginx Pod**: Serves static content from /usr/share/nginx/html
+- **ConfigMap**: Stores custom HTML, CSS, and other static files
+- **Service**: LoadBalancer exposing the nginx pod
+- **Port-Forward**: Mycelium Cloud method for external access
+
+## 📊 Resource Details
+
+```bash
+# Expected output
+kubectl get pods
+NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
+nginx-static-xxxxxx-xxxxx 1/1 Running 0 2m
+
+kubectl get svc
+NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S)
+nginx-static-service LoadBalancer 10.43.xx.x 10.20.x.x,10.20.x.x 80:xxxxx/TCP
+```
+
+## 🔧 Customization Guide
+
+### Change the Content
+
+Create a custom ConfigMap with your content:
+
+```bash
+# Create your custom HTML file
+cat << EOF > custom-index.html
+
+
+
+ My Custom Site
+
+
+
+
+
Welcome to My Static Site
+
This site is running on Mycelium Cloud!
+
Current time: $(date)
+
+
+
+EOF
+
+# Create ConfigMap with custom content
+kubectl create configmap nginx-static-content \
+ --from-file=index.html=custom-index.html
+
+# Update deployment to use the new ConfigMap
+kubectl apply -f nginx-static-deployment.yaml
+```
+
+### Add More Static Files
+
+Create additional ConfigMaps for CSS, JavaScript, or images:
+
+```bash
+# Add a stylesheet
+cat << EOF > custom.css
+body {
+ background: linear-gradient(135deg, #667eea 0%, #764ba2 100%);
+ color: white;
+ font-family: 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif;
+}
+h1 { text-align: center; margin-top: 100px; }
+```
+
+```bash
+# Create ConfigMap with multiple files
+kubectl create configmap nginx-static-content \
+ --from-file=index.html=custom-index.html \
+ --from-file=styles.css=custom.css
+```
+
+## 🚪 Access Methods
+
+### Method 1: Port-Forward (Recommended for Mycelium Cloud)
+
+**Option 1: Simple (Recommended)**
+```bash
+# Keep terminal open, see connection logs (Ctrl+C to stop)
+kubectl port-forward service/nginx-static-service 8080:80
+
+# Access via browser or curl
+curl http://localhost:8080
+```
+
+**Option 2: Advanced (Background)**
+```bash
+# Start in background
+nohup kubectl port-forward service/nginx-static-service 8080:80 > /dev/null 2>&1 &
+
+# Access via browser or curl
+curl http://localhost:8080
+```
+
+**Why this works in Mycelium Cloud:**
+- LoadBalancer external IPs are internal cluster addresses
+- Port-forward creates local tunnel to cluster service
+- Reliable and consistent access method
+
+### Method 2: LoadBalancer (For Reference)
+
+Note: In Mycelium Cloud, LoadBalancer external IPs (like 10.20.x.x) are internal cluster IPs and not externally accessible. Use port-forward for external access.
+
+## 🗑️ Resource Cleanup
+
+```bash
+# Remove all resources
+kubectl delete -f nginx-static-deployment.yaml -f nginx-static-service.yaml
+
+# Remove the ConfigMap
+kubectl delete configmap nginx-static-content
+
+# Verify cleanup
+kubectl get all -l app=nginx-static # Should return nothing
+```
+
+## 🔍 Troubleshooting
+
+### Pod Won't Start
+```bash
+# Check pod status
+kubectl get pods -l app=nginx-static
+
+# Check pod logs
+kubectl logs deployment/nginx-static
+
+# Check pod events
+kubectl describe pod -l app=nginx-static
+```
+
+### Site Not Loading
+```bash
+# Check service endpoints
+kubectl get endpoints nginx-static-service
+
+# Check if port-forward is working
+kubectl port-forward service/nginx-static-service 8081:80 &
+curl -v http://localhost:8081
+```
+
+### Custom Content Not Showing
+```bash
+# Verify ConfigMap content
+kubectl get configmap nginx-static-content -o yaml
+
+# Check if files are mounted correctly
+kubectl exec -it deployment/nginx-static -- ls -la /usr/share/nginx/html/
+
+# Reload nginx to pick up changes
+kubectl exec -it deployment/nginx-static -- nginx -s reload
+```
+
+### Port Forward Fails
+```bash
+# Check if port is in use
+lsof -i :8080
+
+# Try different port
+kubectl port-forward service/nginx-static-service 8082:80
+curl http://localhost:8082
+```
+
+## 📚 More Examples
+
+This is currently one of the complete examples. Future examples will include:
+- **python-flask/** - Python web applications
+- **redis-cache/** - In-memory data caching
+- **postgresql/** - Persistent database services
+- **wordpress/** - Multi-container CMS deployment
+- **nodejs-api/** - Modern JavaScript applications
+- **jenkins-cicd/** - Infrastructure automation
+- **nextcloud/** - Enterprise file sharing
+
+## 💡 Pro Tips
+
+1. **Start Simple**: Begin with foreground port-forward (`kubectl port-forward`)
+2. **Background Optional**: Use `nohup` only when you need persistent port-forwards
+3. **Port Management**: Use `lsof -ti:PORT` to find and kill processes
+4. **Resource Monitoring**: `kubectl get pods -o wide` shows pod distribution
+5. **Quick Testing**: `curl -s http://localhost:8080` to verify nginx is working
+6. **Nginx Logs**: `kubectl logs deployment/nginx-static` for debugging
+7. **Config Updates**: Update ConfigMap then reload nginx: `kubectl exec deployment/nginx-static -- nginx -s reload`
+
+## 🎉 Success Indicators
+
+You'll know everything is working when:
+- ✅ `kubectl get pods` shows nginx-static pod in "Running" status
+- ✅ `kubectl get svc` shows nginx-static-service created
+- ✅ `curl http://localhost:8080` returns your custom HTML content
+- ✅ `kubectl logs deployment/nginx-static` shows nginx access logs
+
+## 🏆 Next Steps
+
+After completing this example, you can:
+1. **Customize Content**: Replace with your own static site
+2. **Add More Examples**: Try the Python Flask API example
+3. **Scale Up**: Learn about load balancing with multiple replicas
+4. **Add Persistence**: Learn about persistent volumes for file storage
