Question

I have technology books in text format. I want to build and host in a server

Version

1. Looking for steps to build the website/server with text files
2. Any different themes are available. Need help on links to go through
3. Recommendation for minimum server configuration 
4. Any import option to import text files?
5. Any import option to import docx files?

This may be the wrong place to ask how to set up a website. There are some instructions on how to deploy mdBook in the wiki to GitHub Pages or GitLab pages, which provide free hosting. Those respective services have documentation on how to use them. mdBook has several built-in themes, and documentation on customizing them. There isn't any importing support that I know of. mdBook only supports markdown, so you'll need to convert it to that format first and then list them in the summary file.

which tool we can use to create markdown files? which tool we can use to convert text file to mark down file?

Markdown files can be created with any text editor.

Plain text files don't have sufficient information to be converted to a formatted document. I think it would have to be done manually. That being said, markdown is intended to be very close to what someone would write with plain text.
