NGINX

A quick word about NGINX. NGINX is running on port 80 and 443 and redirects to the node.js server. In the case of port 80 it redirects to 443 which has SSL. The config file for NGINX is under /etc/nginx/sites-available with a symbolic link to /etc/nginx/sites-enabled. The symbolic link was made with

Symbolic link

sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/coast /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/coast

/etc/nginx/sites-available/coast NGINX

server {

error_page 500 502 503 504 404 /production.custom_error.html;

location = /production.custom_error.html {

root /home/shahnafis/GitHub/Coastal-Image-Labeler/src/html;

internal;

}

location / {

proxy_pass http://localhost:4201; #whatever port your app runs on

proxy_http_version 1.1;

proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;

proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';

proxy_set_header Host $host;

proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;

}

server_name dev.coastalimagelabeler.science;

}

Server Name and Error Page

Remember to change the server_name at the bottom if on a different domain/subdomain and the Error html files up top depending if on the production or development VM.

This is all you have to type in for now. Certbot will edit this file later based on the server_name

Make sure to put the custom_502.html under /usr/share/nginx/html.
