🌐 Gondia Directory: Automated CI/CD Pipeline

This project demonstrates a streamlined DevOps pipeline for a static web application. It automates the entire process of building, containerizing, and testing a directory site for Gondia, Maharashtra using Docker, NGINX, and GitHub Actions.

The main goal is to showcase an "Infrastructure as Code" approach where every code change is automatically verified through a pipeline before deployment.

🏗 System Architecture & Workflow

The following diagram illustrates the fully automated pipeline workflow that is executed every time code is pushed to the main branch. It visualizes the logic in your .github/workflows/deploy.yml file.

Detailed Workflow Description

1. Trigger: A developer pushes changes to the main branch.
2. Pipeline Activation: GitHub Actions detects the push and starts the defined workflow (deploy.yml).
3. Docker Build: The pipeline uses the Dockerfile to create a new, updated Docker image containing your index.html.
4. Health Check: It then spins up the new NGINX container.
5. Automated Verification: The workflow executes a curl test (curl localhost:8080) to confirm the web server is successfully responding with a 200 OK status.
6. Status Report: If the test passes, the pipeline completes successfully. If it fails, you are notified of the error.
