Setting up nginx

Before getting certs, set up a simple site conf:

/etc/nginx/sites-available/umami

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name example.com;
    root /var/www/html;
    index index.html;
}

Now get https certs:

sudo certbot --nginx certonly -d umami.vectorspace.xyz

This generates cert files. Now you can update the nginx site conf:

/etc/nginx/sites-available-umami

server {
    listen 443 http2;
    listen [::]:443 http2;

    server_name umami.vectorspace.xyz;

    ssl on;
    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/umami.vectorspace.xyz/fullchain.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/umami.vectorspace.xyz/privkey.pem;

    location / {
            proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
            proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
            proxy_set_header Host $host;
            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    }
}

server {
        listen 80;
        listen [::]:80;

        server_name umami.vectorspace.xyz;
        return 301 https://umami.vectorspace.xyz$request_uri;

        access_log  /dev/null;
