Nginx setup will provide distribution of the web page, and proxy traffic between the web page and https://api.met.no. It will also cache the data from api.met.no for a while.
Go to http://nginx.org/en/download.html and download the Stable version of nginx for windows.
Now, open a terminal/shell/windows powershell and do the folowing:
cd <you download directory>
unzip nginx-<version>.zip
mv nginx-<version> C:\Prog
cd C:\Prog\nginx-<version>
Go to https://github.com/havardf/locationforecast-tutorial. Click on Clone or download and chose the option Download ZIP.
Now, decompress and move the tutorial repository to the correct directory:
cd <your download directory>
unzip locationforecast-tutorial-master.zip
mv locationforecast-tutorial-master C:\Prog\nginx-<version>
Make sure your current directory are C:\Prog\nginx-<version> and do:
mkdir nginx
mkdir src
The nginx configuration handles both serving of web page files and proxying traffic to api.met.no.
Copy the config file from the locationforecast-tutorial-master repository:
copy locationforecast-tutorial-master\nginx\nginx.conf nginx\nginx.conf
Open your favourite code editor(brackets, notepad, vscode etc.) and create a new file C:\Prog\nginx-<version>\src\index.html. Write the below in that file, and save.
<html lang="en">
<body>
<h1>Weather in Malawi</h1>
</body>
</html>
Make sure your terminal window is in directory C:\Prog\nginx-<version>
nginx -p .\ -c nginx\nginx.conf
When you have tested and wants to stop nginx again, you can type Ctrl-C in the terminal.
Open your favourite browser and go to http://localhost:9080. If you now see a web page with the text Weather in Malawi, everything should be working ok so far! Great!
