+# Compose: Nginx and Golang
+
+This is a [Compose](https://unikraft.cloud/docs/guides/features/compose/)-based example of a [Go]() HTTP server and an [Nginx](https://nginx.org/en/) proxy.
+It is imported from the [`awesome-compose` repository](https://github.com/docker/awesome-compose).
+
+To run Nginx and Golang with Compose on Unikraft Cloud, first [install the `kraft` CLI tool](https://unikraft.org/docs/cli).
+Then clone this examples repository and `cd` into this directory, and invoke:
+
+```console
+kraft cloud compose up
+```
+
+The command will deploy files in the current directory.
+
+After deploying, you can query the service using the provided URL for Nginx.
+Golang is only running in the backend with a public URL.
+Find out the Nginx provided URL by using:
+
+```console
+kraft cloud instance list
+```
