Nginx Reverse Proxy

Install Nginx and proxy api traffic to the local Node server with WebSocket-safe headers.

Summary

This page owns:

• infra/nginx/api.conf
• infra/scripts/20-nginx.ps1

The script installs Nginx, places the site config, validates syntax, enables the site, and reloads Nginx.

Execute

Run as root:

sudo pwsh -File infra/scripts/20-nginx.ps1

Optional overrides:

sudo DOMAIN=api.legendary-arena.com UPSTREAM_PORT=3000 pwsh -File infra/scripts/20-nginx.ps1

Verify

sudo nginx -t
sudo systemctl status nginx --no-pager
curl -I http://127.0.0.1/health

Expected:

• nginx config test succeeds
• service is active
• health endpoint returns from upstream app

Why WebSocket headers matter

The server uses Socket.IO over upgraded connections. Missing Upgrade and Connection headers can cause gameplay session failures even when basic HTTP looks healthy.
