This is the same process we will be using to deploy the API in my upcoming course "Building APIs With Node.js, Express & MongoDB" where we build an extensive API for a bootcamp directory app. Keep an eye out for it in the next month.

Traversy Media Cool. I’m just finishing your Modern JS course. I’m a beginner and I learned a lot. For sure I will take this new Node course. Thanks from Brazil.
This video might be 4 years old. But yet still so relevant. I’ve watch a whole ton of tutorial on this subject and nobody explains it as well as Brad. Thanks, Brad!
You've just made my day, Brad... I was learning all this stuff on my own in a fragmented way, and then a video with all this stuff together... Thanks a million!
Thank you for the great tutorial! This really helped me out. If people are trying to install on Ubuntu 20.0.4, the command for certbot is: sudo apt install certbot python3-certbot-nginx
You are the king ! I love you !! A normal and logical, clear tutorial on setting up NGINX from start to finish . You also documented it in text. This deserves so many more views. Thank you so much
Excellent tutorial as usual! I had a couple of troubles that I thought I'd help people get around: 1) Nginx was stuck on a 404, mainly because I'd used a bunch of tutorials across the web that got the whole config tied up. If this happens to you, just uninstall and reinstall and you should be good to go with this tutorial. 2) When running the add-apt-repository ppa:certbot/certbot command, I got a message saying that this ppa was deprecated. Don't fret, just skip that command - run the update and move on to the apt-get install python-certbot-nginx. Once again, superb, Brad! Can't thank you enough!
Hi Brad! You are a freaking awesome teacher! I was going through so much documentation on nginx and in the end it is your solution that is the absolutely best first step. I learned the basic of web development from you 6 years ago and now I work in a big company with industrial code complexity. And still you are my first choice when I encounter something new. Your steady clear voice and clear steps. You are just awesome! You always find the necessities without simplifying it into something no useful. Amazing!
This is the only chanel I run to when I want a straightforward and without nonsense video. To be frank Mr Brad is fantastic!! Wish I had a teacher like this in my high school days..
Although I think his channel would rank higher in Adsense if the ads displayed here actually generated revenue for advertisers, which goes against this kind of practice
I spent three days straight trying to properly deploy my apps into some subdomains I had set up early on to no avail. Found your video and managed to set it up properly in a flash! Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart, mate!
I didn't even realise how long and how much i wanted this video until i saw the notification :D Thanks for all your tutorials and hard work that goes into them!
For a large scale app on AWS here is what i do: 1. All static js/css/img go to a s3 bucket. 2. My nodejs app goes to ec2 with pm2 for clustering. 3. An application load balancer is in front of ec2. 4. All of this is behind cloudfront. My dns points to cloudfront. Cloudfront looks at url and decides if req must go to s3 or elb. All s3 requests are cached by cloudfront. No caching for elb requests 5. I use amazon certificate mgr for free ssl certificate that terminates at cloudfront This is the most scalable deployment arch that i could do on aws. No nginx to manage. All pieces except your node js code is managed by aws. I hope folks looking at aws get some ideas from this
Unfortunately i do not have the time right now to make a video or write a blog on this. But rest assured this is working very well for me. If you have specific questions i can answer here
@@thymarques at this time, AWS is just too feature rich. I can do log analysis with just a couple of clicks with kinesis-agent, firehose and elasticsearch service. I can put images on s3 and run rekognition to identify nudity, i can just dump stuff into s3 via firehose and figure out later what to do with it. Not to forget managed redis, mongo, rds what not. For less ambitious projects (note i did not say smaller), other places may be ok but if you see that this might go places, i would want to be covered. DO is great no doubt but AWS as an ecosystem is just too rich today to pass up
This might just be the most useful video on YT! or at least the one I find myself coming back to year after year. I'm most comfortable on the frontend and anything web ops always scares me so I really, really appreciate this step by step video
Amazing, still super relevant as of today! More than 2 years later. Just had a small hiccup at the end with certbot with a package migration to python3, python3-certbot. Thanks!
If there is anything frustrating in this world, it is when you try so hard to do something, and then somebody comes and explain it to you as if it is the easiest, most unimportant thing ever. HAVE A LITTLE MODESTY IN THE WAY THAT YOU SPEAK. not everybody is sharped experienced developers as you are. But thanks anyway ;) It is very helpfull.
Damn man. Thanks a lot! About a month ago I had to figure out all of this by myself (never worked with nginx and let's encrypt before). It was such a pain in the ass... Now nobody will have to suffer this much anymore =D
This was incredibly helpful... I was struggling with it for hours until i found this video. It appeared that i didn't configure well the firewall, but this video really made it really clear. Thanks (again), Brad!
@Travery Media I want to say Thank you. You Probably will never read this. In case you do, I want you to know you are doing a great job. You are impacting people not just in the USA but from all over the world (I currently live in DR). Most of the things I know I learned from your channel or from your Udemy course. Now I am working as a freelancer and able to support my family Thank you, man.
Awesome video mate, had some confusion regarding the reverse proxy set up of NIGINX, you cleared away all my doubts. Thanks a ton for that, have a nice day!!
Excellent Brad just what I needed, the video title possible needs to include 'vps' as I didn't find this video straight away. Also sudo apt-get install python-certbot-nginx is now sudo apt-get install python3-certbot-nginx
Thanks a lot for this video. It's worth mentioning this reverse proxy method can also be used to secure API interaction. I used it to secure my connection to a Geth node. Very useful!
Thanks for this! Followed along for my Node app on my EC2 instance and it worked really well. One thing to note, securing Nginx with Let's Encrypt this way is now deprecated but Digital Ocean had a quick step by step write-up to show how to do this currently.
@@cloudnimbus- Can't post links in youtube comments, but I searched "digitalocean ec2 letsencrypt nginx" using google and a few relevant articles from Digital Ocean appear. Choose based on what's appropriate for you.
This is a bless. I've been searching TH-cam in the last 2 days. That's exactly what I needed. Would be nice to see a.sequel on how to add react app to this. Thanks 👍
Thank you! After wasting many days of my life on this, your tutorial got my app online. Digital Ocean's placeholder page tells you to modify locations in nginx.conf but doesn't tell you what to put there!
Superb work as always. Would love to see this but with Docker containers rather than manual installations on the environment for node, npm etc.. For a more industry standard example
Man this is an awesome tutorial. I learned a lot! Trying to serve my application for like to days over https. No it finally works. Thank you very much! You another follower ;-)

i literally spent a week trying to follow other guides without success, but then you freaking SAVED ME with this. GOOD GOD THANK YOU
i love how this guy always puts in so much effort to teach. i really appreciate it so much

Amazon is expensive, for small and medium projects DO is perfect... and sometimes large projects can run using digital ocean.
@@thymarques at this time, AWS is just too feature rich. I can do log analysis with just a couple of clicks with kinesis-agent, firehose and elasticsearch service.

i have to thank you, this video did help me to deploy a slack app with docker in a digital ocean droplet using ngnix ! i learn a lot thanks to this
This is just what I was looking for, I struggled to figure out the best way to setup my nodejs server with SSL, this is awesome, thanks dude
The configure process is the same no matter what you use. Great video, it will help devs doing their first release!

My tinkering around with Ubuntu some time back made this video super easy to understand and make sense of technical stuff it. Thanks a lot
You guys never disapoint its super clear
Wow, this is the easiest Let's Encrypt SSL tutorial that I've ever seen. Other ones I've seen are much more complicated. Amazing!
Hey. Just wanted to let you know. You saved my life. From AWS. Thanks.

You continue to be the best programming educator on youtube. Thank you
You always seem to upload the right video at the right time. Awesome work.
Thank you so much, I've searched for how to point a domain to AWS elastic IP and how to install SSL, your videos helps a lot, thanks!
Your channel never disappoints, I've been worrying on how to use nginx on digitalocean. And today I got the full package, SSL included.
This is the most interesting video I watched in a long time! Thank you.
My mind:"I have to learn this random technology some day."
