Nginx Reverse Proxy

Set up Nginx with SSL for production.

Install Nginx

sudo apt update
sudo apt install nginx

Configure site

Vendel serves both the API and frontend on a single port (8090), so the proxy config is straightforward. Create /etc/nginx/sites-available/vendel:

/etc/nginx/sites-available/vendel 
server {
    listen 80;
    server_name sms.yourdomain.com;
    return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}

server {
    listen 443 ssl http2;
    server_name sms.yourdomain.com;

    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/sms.yourdomain.com/fullchain.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/sms.yourdomain.com/privkey.pem;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:8090;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    }
}

Enable site

sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/vendel /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
sudo nginx -t
sudo systemctl reload nginx

SSL with Certbot

sudo apt install certbot python3-certbot-nginx
sudo certbot --nginx -d sms.yourdomain.com
