Here is the article. But for deploying it I wanted to try and use docker. So in this article, we will build a docker image with Nginx and serve our Next app using that. Demo: Here is the Pokedex repo that you can clone and run as docker container: https://rishabkumar.com/blog/how-to-add-a-logo-or-gif-to-windows-terminal-app/ Sun, 24 Jan 2021 19:15:25 +0000 https://rishabkumar.com/blog/how-to-add-a-logo-or-gif-to-windows-terminal-app/ Hello amazing people 👋 Hope you all are doing great. I am here with my first blog post of 2021 and it started with an astounding recommendation that I made to one of the fellow clouders @jonnychipz. I remember I added that Azure Functions GIF to my Terminal immediately as Marc was demonstrating it on one of the live streams. https://twitter.com/rishabk7/status/1351910466113585152?s=20 So I thought, why not compose an article to show how to do it! https://rishabkumar.com/blog/securing-and-optimizing-your-webserver/ Thu, 20 Aug 2020 04:37:22 +0000 https://rishabkumar.com/blog/securing-and-optimizing-your-webserver/ This is the last part of the series! if you haven’t read the first two articles, here they are : How to set up a VM in GCP ☁ How to host your website with Nginx ⚙ In this article, we will optimize our web server and secure our site, which is being served by Nginx. Enable HTTPS Now that you can get free SSL certs from LetsEncrypt, there’s really no reason why you shouldn’t have HTTPS enabled for your website. https://rishabkumar.com/blog/how-to-host-your-website-with-nginx/ Wed, 19 Aug 2020 15:22:41 +0000 https://rishabkumar.com/blog/how-to-host-your-website-with-nginx/ NGINX is a high‑performance, highly scalable, highly available web server, reverse proxy server, and web accelerator (combining the features of an HTTP load balancer, content cache, and more).

Goal ⚽ Have a responsive personal blog site, with markdown support. https://rishabkumar.com/blog/how-i-passed-aws-solutions-architect-associate/ Sun, 09 Aug 2020 14:47:40 +0000 https://rishabkumar.com/blog/how-i-passed-aws-solutions-architect-associate/ Tick tock. Tick tock.🕐 As the clock ticks on, with a deafening silence we have never known before, like many of us, I didn’t want to sit and count those seconds scrolling by. Time ain’t really money (I mean we should have been rich by that logic long time back) but it sure is an opportunity.

After switching between a lot of dark themes in VSCode, I finally settled for Dracula due to the number of applications it supports. So now I can have single dark theme across all the applications that I use. https://rishabkumar.com/blog/beautify-your-terminal-wsl2/ Sat, 08 Aug 2020 13:46:36 +0000 https://rishabkumar.com/blog/beautify-your-terminal-wsl2/ I used Ubuntu as a VM for front-end development. But recently I have been testing Windows Subsystem of Linux (WSL 2) and so far it’s good. No need to run VM anymore! (Since I only care about the command line functionality). Also, I have been trying out the oh-my-zsh and I gotta say that it is amazing! Here is a guide on how to get started with WSL by @jeremycmorgan.
