This repository contains a simple Node.js Express application configured with Nginx as a reverse proxy.

• Node.js installed on your system
• Nginx installed on your system
• Basic understanding of Node.js and Nginx configurations

• app.js: Entry point of the Node.js Express application.
• package.json: Contains project metadata and dependencies.
• nginx.conf: Nginx configuration file for reverse proxy setup.

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/TearsAchly/A387-Jarkom-Labs.git
   cd A387-Jarkom-Labs

2. Install Dependencies:

   npm install

3. Start the Node.js Application:

   npm start

   This command will start the Node.js application on http:https://localhost:8000.

4. Configure Nginx:

   Edit your Nginx configuration file (nginx.conf) and add or replace the contents with the provided configuration to set up a reverse proxy for your Node.js application.

5. Restart Nginx:

   After configuring Nginx, restart the Nginx service to apply the changes.

   sudo systemctl restart nginx

6. Access Your Application:

   Open a web browser and navigate to http:https://localhost:3000. Nginx will reverse proxy requests to the Node.js application running on port 8000.

The Nginx configuration (nginx.conf) includes:

• limit_req_zone: Rate limiting configuration to limit requests per IP address.
• Proxy settings to pass requests from Nginx to the Node.js application:
  • proxy_pass: Specifies the URL of the proxied server.
  • proxy_set_header: Sets headers passed to the proxied server.

• Ensure that both Node.js and Nginx are properly installed and configured on your system.
• Customize the Nginx configuration based on your application's requirements (e.g., SSL settings, gzip compression).
• For production deployments, consider security best practices and monitoring configurations.
