📂 Directory Structure

The project is organized as follows:

📜 Guidelines

• Containers follow best practices and avoid infinite loops (tail -f, bash, etc.).
• NGINX is the sole entry point, serving requests only through port 443.
• Adheres to Dockerfile standards (no pre-built images pulled from DockerHub).
