I just got myself a new raspberry pi 3 and installed nginx with node onto it. The nginx webserver is up and running. But somehow I don't get the javascripts of my website work. Do I need to enable the javascript for each location of my webserver or is there the possibility to set node up in a way I just works for every site on my server?
Here you can see the directory hierarchy of my websites:
#########################################
### Directories ###

# /www/var/ #
# | - > index.html (the hub/mainpage) #
# | proj1/ #

When you go to my website ( http://strtpg.xyz ) the mainpage out of /www/var/ is beeing shown. It's kind of a hub where I got access to all other sites hosted on the server. And you can access the different sites by appending it's folder name to the link: eg ' http://strtpg.xyz/proj1 ' or ' http://strtpg.xyz/proj5 '. Some of the sites got javascript and some don't.
And this is my config file from /etc/nginx/sites-available/
:
# Server configuration
#upstream pnkpnd {
# server localhost:3420;
# keepalive 8;
#}
server {
listen 0.0.0.0:80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name localhost;
index index.html index.htm;
location / {
root /var/www;
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
# Default root of site won't exist.
#return 410;
}
location /strtpg {
root /var/www;
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
location /dshbrd {
root /var/www;
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
location /pnkpnd {
root /var/www;
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
# proxy_http_version 1.1;
# proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
# proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
# proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
# proxy_set_header X-Forward-For $proxy_add_x_Forwarded_for;
# proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
# proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
# proxy_pass http://strtpg.xyz/;
# proxy_redirect off;
}
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
}
All the stuff I tried out to get node working with my websites is commented out, so I can at least see the website itself.
Node is usually used as a Web server that listens to a port, serves static files and has API endpoints that will run javascript in the server. To achieve that developers use application frameworks like ExpressJS.
Pointing nginx to a directory like /var/www
is wrong.
Usually you will have to run your NodeJS app like this
$ node app.js
After that you server will listen to a port. Lets say that in this case is 3000
so using curl http://localhost:3000/
will get your root site. Its your job from inside app.js
to setup all your static and dynamic content that your application will serve. Example: if you want to send index.html
you have to do a sendfile
.
In the nginx side the only thing you will have to do is to create a reverse proxy.
Now nginx will proxy all requests that are made to example.com
to your node application server at http://localhost:3000
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
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;
}
}
