Nginx Setup

Prerequisites

sudo mkdir -p /var/www
cd /var/www
git clone <YOUR_BOT_REPOSITORY_URL>
ls
sudo mv /var/www/<CLONED_FOLDER_NAME> /var/www/aegisbot # Ensure the folder is named aegisbot

Run ls to verify the folder name before renaming.

Replace <YOUR_BOT_REPOSITORY_URL> with your repo URL. If you received a ZIP download, extract it into /var/www/aegisbot instead of cloning.

Replace <CLONED_FOLDER_NAME> with the folder created by git clone.
