# Deploy a Static Site with Nginx on Google Cloud Run using Artifact Registry - gem-cloud-run-nginx-website ### Activate Cloud Shell Cloud Shell is a virtual machine that is loaded with development tools. It offers a persistent 5GB home directory and runs on the Google Cloud. Cloud Shell provides command-line access to your Google Cloud resources. 1. Click **Activate Cloud Shell** ![Activate Cloud Shell icon](https://cdn.qwiklabs.com/ep8HmqYGdD%2FkUncAAYpV47OYoHwC8%2Bg0WK%2F8sidHquE%3D align="left") at the top of the Google Cloud console. When you are connected, you are already authenticated, and the project is set to your **PROJECT\_ID**. The output contains a line that declares the **PROJECT\_ID** for this session: ```apache Your Cloud Platform project in this session is set to YOUR_PROJECT_ID ``` `gcloud` is the command-line tool for Google Cloud. It comes pre-installed on Cloud Shell and supports tab-completion. 2. (Optional) You can list the active account name with this command: ```apache gcloud auth list ``` 3. Click **Authorize**. 4. Your output should now look like this: **Output:** ```apache ACTIVE: * ACCOUNT: student-01-xxxxxxxxxxxx@qwiklabs.net To set the active account, run: $ gcloud config set account `ACCOUNT` ``` 5. (Optional) You can list the project ID with this command: ```apache gcloud config list project ``` **Output:** ```apache [core] project = ``` **Example output:** ```apache [core] project = qwiklabs-gcp-44776a13dea667a6 ``` **Note:** For full documentation of `gcloud`, in Google Cloud, refer to [the gcloud CLI overview guide](https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud). ## Overview In this lab, you will learn how to deploy a static website using Nginx on Google Cloud Run. You'll build a Docker image, store it in Artifact Registry, and then deploy it to Cloud Run, making your website accessible via a public URL. ## Task 1. Set up your Environment Configure your Google Cloud environment by setting the project ID, region and enabling necessary services. 1. Set your Project ID is: `qwiklabs-gcp-01-ddb400ec2267` ```apache gcloud config set project qwiklabs-gcp-01-ddb400ec2267 ``` **Note:** This command sets your active project. 2. Set your default region to `us-east1` ```apache gcloud config set run/region us-east1 ``` **Note:** This command sets your default cloud run region. 3. Enable the Cloud Run and Artifact Registry APIs. ```apache gcloud services enable run.googleapis.com artifactregistry.googleapis.com ``` **Note:** This command enables the required Google Cloud services. ## Task 2. Create a Static Website Create a simple HTML file that will be served by Nginx. 1. Create an `index.html` file with the following content: ```apache cat > index.html < My Static Website
Welcome to My Static Website!

This website is served from Google Cloud Run using Nginx and Artifact Registry.

EOF ``` **Note:** This command creates the index.html file. ## Task 3. Create an Nginx Configuration Create an Nginx configuration file to serve the static website. 1. Create a `nginx.conf` file with the following content: ```apache cat > nginx.conf < Dockerfile <
