Nginx as https api gateway for nodejs microservices

Node and npm should be already installed on server

1. Clone this repo and cd into it
2. Generate ssl certificate in repo root -> openssl req -nodes -new -x509 -keyout server.key -out server.cert
3. Follow Nginx/nginx.txt to install and setup nginx
4. Copy generated ssl certs to -> /etc/nignx/ssl/ (or reconfigure path in nginx configuration file)
5. Copy Nginx/nginx-configuration file. Restart nginx -> /etc/nginx/sites-available/ , rename as 'default' ;
6. Once nginx is running, go to machines IP and verify -> https://server-IP should show unsafe warning but can proceed to nginx welcome page (as server used self signed ssl)
7. Install micro-services from scripts/ dir -> ./installServer.sh
8. Start node-express microservices -> ./startServer.sh
9. Following endpoints should now be accessible -> https://server-IP |-> /write/user |-> /sync/user |-> /register/user
