I'm trying to configure my Ubuntu server to host my Node.js application via NGINX. My Node.js application is currently running on localhost port 8080
.
Right now, my NGINX file has the default contents:
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server;
root /var/www/html;
index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
server_name _;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
}
How do I update this configuration file to host my Node.js application via reverse proxy?
You'll need to update the location {}
section of your configuration file.
Update the content of your NGINX configuration file to this:
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server;
root /var/www/html;
index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
server_name _;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;
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;
}
}
