Reverse Proxy Rules for Cloudflare SSL and hosting on VM

1. Using running Docker container and creating an entry in etc/nginx/sites-available

cd astellar2022/
chmod +x run.sh
./run.sh

Docker container with nginx will be running on localhost:7000.

Now we need to map port 7000 to astellar.xyz.

Create a file astellar in /etc/nginx/sites-available

Copy the following contents and paste in it

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name astellar.xyz;
    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:7000;
    }
}

We need to enable the site in nginx so execute the following commands

sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/astellar /etc/nginx/sites-enabled
sudo nginx -t
sudo systemctl restart nginx

In DNS Section of Cloudflare, create an A record to root of site pointing to IPv4 address of the VM's IP.

2. Using static build files and creating an entry in etc/nginx/sites-available

Create a file astellar in /etc/nginx/sites-available

Copy the following contents and paste in it

server {
    root /home/shourde/hosted-projects/astellar2022/build;
    server_name astellar.xyz;
    index index.html;
    location /static/ {
        alias /home/shourde/hosted-projects/astellar2022/build/static;
    }
    location / {
        if (!-e $request_filename) {
            rewrite ^(.*)$ /index.html break;
        }
    }
}

We need to enable the site in nginx so execute the following commands

sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/astellar /etc/nginx/sites-enabled
sudo nginx -t
sudo systemctl restart nginx

In DNS Section of Cloudflare, create an A record to root of site pointing to IPv4 address of the VM's IP.

After creation of backend

Configure nginx to serve content for static and redirect to /api/ for backend

Create a file astellar in /etc/nginx/sites-available

Copy the following contents and paste in it

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name astellar.xyz;
    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:7000;
    }
    location /api/{
    	proxy_pass http://localhost:3001;
  }
}

We need to enable the site in nginx so execute the following commands

sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/astellar /etc/nginx/sites-enabled
sudo nginx -t
sudo systemctl restart nginx

In DNS Section of Cloudflare, create an A record to root of site pointing to IPv4 address of the VM's IP.
