I am quite new to DevOps and I want to auto-deploy my react build folder to an Nginx server on digital ocean using gitlab-ci.yaml I have tried in auto-deploying nodejs backend in the base and it was quite easy but I don't know where to start or even what to do auto-deploying to Nginx using gitlab-ci without docker. Please I need help

I have a droplet in Digital Ocean with Ubuntu 20.04 and a .NET Core web application that connects to Mongo.
My deployment workflow is the following:
I work locally with Visual Studio and release my app to a folder.
Then I connect to my server through FTP and drag the content of my folder to /var/www/myapp
Secrets are managed by Azure (it took me a lot of time to set this up).
A service runs the app and restarts it if needed.
The web server is Nginx
Everything works fine, nothing new so far. However, I'd like to automate each deployment and I found GitLab can run a pipeline to help me achieve that. The problem is I don't understand how to set this up correctly since I've seen there are more partes involved, such as Docker and Kubernetes, and I feel a bit overwhelmed.
Do I need to "dockerize" my application, database, etc.? If I want to add Angular as the client side, do I need to dockerize it as well or it goes in the same container as the .NET Core app?
Do I need Kubernetes? If so, why?
What would be the most straightforward and recommended way of achieving a CI/CD for my app?
It took me a lot of effort to deploy to my Linux server and I'm afraid I can destroy something in production.
I would really appreciate any help.
All, Forgive me I just an newbie for Docker and Micro-services. I am going to to get into the world of Micro-services and Docker. But currently I have no idea of how to get started with them. I have the experience of Asp.net. I heard of Asp.net corecan work in the Linux.
I want to know what is the Docker. how does it work. how Docker help to build Micro-services. Is it Docker is the only way to host Micro-services? Thanks.
what is the Docker
The Docker docs are the best place to learn about Docker.
how Docker help to build Micro-services?
Docker doesn't help in building microservices, it helps in packaging, deploying, and shipping microservices. However, Docker is a great tool to grab all the dependencies needed to develop services in general, from database to cloud components ...
Is it Docker is the only way to host Micro-services
No Docker is not the only way to deploy microservices, however it is probably the most popular way nowadays to package and deploy services.
I have a running dev installation of a dockerized wordpress project( via docker-compose) and was wondering what would be the best approach to deploying it to Azure. Most tutorials assume you are starting from scratch however I already have an installation and was wondering if I just need to integrate the azure-cli to the compose or setup an azure and migrate what was already done.
I have an account but do I invoke a docker VM or a wordpress from azure ??
What about the database?
The easiest path is for you to create a new Azure Container Service, which can host Docker Swarm, and deploy it there. Install the Azure CLI 2.0 on your machine and follow the tutorial to get started.
I'm new to using docker though I followed the tutorials to create a nginx web server container and I have a website created in Dreamweaver. I was wanting to know how I can use the virtual web server to host my Dreamweaver site as a test server. Can I just open the kitematic and grab a nginx and place my Dreamweaver file into like the 2048 (game) example on there website?
This question is pretty broad but in essence you'd want to start with the nginx docker image. Create a Dockerfile that copies and configures your dreamweaver app and use the FROM nginx directive.
More info here
I think that using a FROM nginx is a bad idea. NGINX is a service on its own and should run within a docker as a stand-alone.
Your website-docker and your nginx-docker should communicate together using --link <name or id>:alias.
If you have several websites, you should have several dockers but still only one nginx. So if every websites docker embedded their own nginx that's messy and far away from the best practice...
I have recently deployed a Beanstalk application on EC2.
This application is deployed using Docker.
I have discovered that every Beanstalk EC2 machine comes with a nginx that acts as a proxy(I don't really understand why, not documented anywhere).
Now the problem is that I do not know which nginx should have its configuration optimized (worker_processes, worker_connections, etc.)
Now, I know what I do not want and that is to configure nginx in two places.
I also tried using passenger as standalone but passenger as standalone looks like nginx.
How do you manage this situation in production ?
why is there a default nginx running on the AWS EC2 AMI in the first place ?
you really configure two nginx ?
is first nginx just a proxy(on the AWS EC2 machine) ?
should not touch anything regarding topmost nginx ?
isn't this first nginx also affected by concurrency and should be optimized ?
