I am trying to deploy a local nginx server to the public. The nginx server works as a reverse proxy in my node express application , which also runs locally on port 3000 . So I created a symbolic link from / etc / nginx / sites -available / express TO / etc / nginx / sites-enabled / express, so my configuration file is called express and looks like this.
/ etc / nginx / support sites / express
upstream express_servers{ server 127.0.0.1:3000; } server { listen 80; location / { proxy_pass http://express_servers; proxy_http_version 1.1; proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade; proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade'; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade; } }
I deleted the default file from the site support folder and I did not change my nginx.conf file, which looks like this
/etc. / Nginx / nginx.conf
user www-data; worker_processes auto; pid /run/nginx.pid; events { worker_connections 768; # multi_accept on; } http { ## # Basic Settings ## sendfile on; tcp_nopush on; tcp_nodelay on; keepalive_timeout 65; types_hash_max_size 2048; # server_tokens off; # server_names_hash_bucket_size 64; # server_name_in_redirect off; include /etc/nginx/mime.types; default_type application/octet-stream; ## # SSL Settings ## ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2; # Dropping SSLv3, ref: POODLE ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on; ## # Logging Settings ## access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log; error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log; ## # Gzip Settings ## gzip on; gzip_disable "msie6"; # gzip_vary on; # gzip_proxied any; # gzip_comp_level 6; # gzip_buffers 16 8k; # gzip_http_version 1.1; # gzip_types text/plain text/css application/json application/javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript; ## # Virtual Host Configs ## include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf; include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*; } #mail { # # See sample authentication script at: # # http://wiki.nginx.org/ImapAuthenticateWithApachePhpScript # # # auth_http localhost/auth.php; # # pop3_capabilities "TOP" "USER"; # # imap_capabilities "IMAP4rev1" "UIDPLUS"; # # server { # listen localhost:110; # protocol pop3; # proxy on; # } # # server { # listen localhost:143; # protocol imap; # proxy on; # } #}
I also changed the firewall settings using ufw (a simple firewall) to allow access to http (especially nginx). The status of ufw is as follows:
Status: active Logging: on (low) Default: deny (incoming), allow (outgoing), disabled (routed) New profiles: skip To Action From -- ------ ---- 80/tcp (Nginx HTTP) ALLOW IN Anywhere 80 ALLOW IN Anywhere 80/tcp (Nginx HTTP (v6)) ALLOW IN Anywhere (v6) 80 (v6) ALLOW IN Anywhere (v6)
when I run load tests using wrk or loadtest (npm) everything works fine. for instance
wrk -t12 -c50 -d5s http:
so locally I can access the nginx server, but when I try to access the server from my phone (3G / 4G), I can’t contact the server. What exactly did I miss?
EDIT: I'm trying to access the service using http: // PUBLIC_IP_ADDR / getCats / eng , not the local addr.
