Example nginx configuration

[luclu7]

Hi,

I'm trying to setup this app with an Nginx reverse proxy (mostly for HTTPS), I'd like to know if you have a guide on/know how to setup it that way.

Thank you for making this!

Hello @luclu7 😄!
Thanks for getting in touch! At first I recommend you to try it on your machine just to understand how to run this game (it can help you setting up it later on some server). Below you can see a basic setup idea:

Setup Idea

To setup this game (with nginx or another resources) you can take the generic idea:

1. You have to build a component (front-end or back-end)
2. You have to add the component environment variables (try not to forget adding the env variables using .env.example file that exists inside each component)
3. You need to execute the builded component (you can use Docker or even run it directly on server)
4. You have to expose the running component on internet (reverse proxy)

Basic Setup

Being minded about the idea above, a basic setup with nginx (supposing that a server is already setup and running) would be:

• Back-end:

1. Build API using npm run ci:unapy command
2. Execute API using npm run start:unapy command
3. Add a rule on nginx to make a proxy to api locally

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name api.somename.com;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:4555;
    }
}

• Front-end:

1. Build Client using npm run ci:unoenty command
2. Add a rule on nginx to make a proxy to client locally

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name client.somename.com;

    location / {
        index /client-folder/index.html;
    }
}
