Garmoniya Center NGO Website

Overview

This project is a practical production deployment for Garmoniya Center. The website supports Russian, Uzbek Latin, and English, and is live at garmoniya-center.uz.

My work focused on building the site and setting up a simple, understandable deployment path: Docker multi-stage build, Docker Compose on the server, host Nginx reverse proxy, and a manual deployment script.

Server Setup

• Provisioned an Ubuntu 24.04 VPS on UZTELECOM Cloud.
• Configured UFW so only required network ports are open.
• Enabled Fail2Ban for SSH protection.
• Used SSH key authentication and disabled password login.
• Configured host Nginx as the reverse proxy in front of the Docker Compose service.
• Enabled HTTPS for the official domain with Let's Encrypt.

Deployment

The application is packaged with a Docker multi-stage build and started through Docker Compose. GitLab CI/CD currently validates the project, while production deployment is done with a manual script so each release is explicit and easy to inspect.

Current Status

The official domain garmoniya-center.uz is active with HTTPS. The official email address info@garmoniya-center.uz is active through Google Workspace.

Planned Next

• Admin panel for content updates.
• Telegram/contact-form request system.
• Mobile app for a later phase.

What I Learned

This project gave me more practice with a real Linux server, Docker-based deployment, Nginx reverse proxy configuration, and basic production hardening. I kept the setup intentionally modest and understandable instead of adding tools the project does not need yet.
