How to configure ngnix for rails port?

Hello this is my first time deploying rails app to a ubuntu server so after I configured nginx and got the "welcome to nginx page" at a certain IP ... and when I start rails application I must enter the port in the IP address for example 165.217.84.11:3000 in order to access rails so how to make rails run default when I run only this IP 165.217.84.11

"welcome to nginx page"

165.217.84.11:3000

You can set the redirection from the 80 port (wich is the default) to the 3000 like this:

worker_processes 1;

events worker_connections 1024;

http
client_max_body_size 10m;
sendfile on;

upstream rails
server 165.217.84.11:3000;



server
listen 80;

location /
proxy_pass http://rails-app;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Ssl off;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Port $server_port;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $server_name;






So, when you access 165.217.84.11 in the browser you should see your rails project.

165.217.84.11.COM/index

.com

upstream rails

proxy_pass

165.217.84.11:3000

In general you have to setup your nginx to use puma socket file and then it will access the website using socket file instead of using TCP port (:3000 by the default).

:3000

Here is a nice tutorial: link

And here is a short explanation why you should use sockets.
