Setting up a Webserver

1. Login to your DNS manager, point the domain you want your dashboard to be hosted on to your VPS IP address. (Example: dash.hostactyl.tech 192.172.0.2)

2. Run apt install nginx && apt install certbot

3. Run ufw allow 80 and ufw allow 443 on the vps

4. Run certbot certonly -d <domain> then do 1 and put your email

5. Run nano /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/hostactyl.conf

6. Paste the configuration at the bottom of this and replace <domain> (For Example: dash.hostactyl.tech) with the domain you want it to run on and <port> (For Example 3000) with the port it is already running on. By default that is 3000.

7. Run systemctl restart nginx

Nginx Proxy Config

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name <domain>;
    return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}
server {
    listen 443 ssl http2;
location /afkwspath {
  proxy_http_version 1.1;
  proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
  proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
  proxy_pass "http://localhost:<port>/afkwspath";
}
    
    server_name <domain>;
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/<domain>/fullchain.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/<domain>/privkey.pem;
    ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:10m;
    ssl_protocols SSLv3 TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
    ssl_ciphers  HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5;
    ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
location / {
      proxy_pass http://localhost:<port>/;
      proxy_buffering off;
      proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
  }
}
