Host ASP.NET Core on Linux with Nginx : the sites-available and sites-enabled folders are not created after installing Nginx.

[lamereactor]

Description

After following the Nginx installation tutorial, we move on to the configuration.

It says the following :

To configure Nginx as a reverse proxy to forward HTTP requests to the ASP.NET Core app, modify /etc/nginx/sites-available/default and recreate the symlink. After creating the /etc/nginx/sites-available/default file, use the following command to create the symlink

However, during the installation process, the sites-available and sites-enabled folders are not created, which makes the configuration process cumbersome for a beginner on Ubuntu (typically, a Windows Server user encountering Linux for the first time).

I think it would be helpful to explain the process of creating these folders, because as a reader of the documentation, you expect them to be created. Personally, not being familiar with Linux and Nginx, I struggled a bit with this part.
