How do I set up Nginx with Node.js?

To set up Nginx with Node.js, you'll need to install Nginx and configure it to reverse proxy requests to your Node.js application.

What are the steps to install Nginx?

You can install Nginx using package managers like apt for Ubuntu or Homebrew for macOS. For example, on Ubuntu, run sudo apt update and then sudo apt install nginx.

How do I configure Nginx to work with my Node.js app?

You need to create a configuration file in /etc/nginx/sites-available/ and set up a server block to proxy requests to your Node.js app's port.

Can you provide an example of the Nginx configuration?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name your_domain.com;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
        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;
    }
}

Make sure to replace your_domain.com with your actual domain.
