accessing nginx server on my local machine

You made it public by configuring it in the template. http-server is just something inside your container to respond on this port.

If you're running http-server then you're connecting to it, if you run nginx then you would connect to it. Did you do step 3? You need to run nginx in your container (and not http-server).

Try to break it down into smaller problems: 1. HTTP server. 2. Connectivity. 3. Nginx config. 1) Try to use some very dumb HTTP server which doesn't need any configuration. For example, http-server from npm:

apt update
apt install -y npm
npm install -b http-server
http-server -a 0.0.0.0 -p 8000

apt update
apt install -y npm
npm install -b http-server
http-server -a 0.0.0.0 -p 8000

Note: you need to disable nginx first, otherwise http-server won't be able to start. Then open another SSH session and check that it works:

curl http://localhost:8000

curl http://localhost:8000

2) Next step - try to access it from the outside. First, make sure that port 8000 is exposed as TCP (not HTTP!) according to your template. When your pod is running, check out pod mappings - you need External port (8000 -> a.b.c.d:NNNN). Then you can try to open it in your browser - http://a.b.c.d:NNNN/. 3) Even the most basic config should work. Try this one, but don't forget to change port to 8000. https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/how-to-configure-nginx Note: don't forget to kill http-server before trying to launch nginx.
