Routing your Node App using Nginx

Below is how to easily route to port 80 in your LEMP environment, you may need to edit your root path if your sites don't reside in /srv/

#listens for www.exampledomain.com then redirects without www
server {
  listens  80;
  server_name www.exampledomain.com;
  return 301  $scheme://exampledomain.com$request_uri;
}
server {
  listens 80;
  server_name exampledomain.com;
  index index.html;
  root  /srv/exampledomain.com/public/;

  #routing to your Node app aka "Magic!"
  location / {
    proxy_pass  http://127.0.0.1:3000;
    proxy_set_header  Host $http_host;
    proxy_set_header  X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header  X_Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    client_max_body_size  16m;
    client_body_buffer_size 128k;
  }
}
