AdonisJS boilerplate for a club website

AdonisJS Boilerplate for an Org/Club Website

(Only a template, not the actual repo for https://calconvergent.com)

Setup

1. Get your AWS ec2 Instance setup (aws.amazon.com). Go with the default free tier options for everything.
2. ssh into your instance and Clone this repo
3. Run this command to start the server (MAKE SURE IT WORKS)

adonis serve --dev

Getting the server to run after ssh logout

This must be done so that the website works even when your computer is off. You can use pm2 to do so.

1. Run this command

npm install pm2 -g

2. Run this command

pm2 start server.js

The server has now started! You must run this to stop it:

pm2 stop all

Checkout pm2 documentation for more commands.

Getting the port stuff resolved

Right now, the site requires a specific port to be accessed. We want to eliminate the need for a port number like 3333, 3000, 5000 etc. so we will get it working on the default port (80). We need nginx for this.

1. Run this command. If it gives an error, follow the error instructions for installation.

sudo yum install nginx

2. Change your AWS ec2 inbound rule to have the following port open: HTTP, TCP, Port 80, Source: 0.0.0.0/0

3. Now run this command

sudo nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

4. This opens nano, a text editor. Use nano to modify the file to look like this:

server {
   listen         80 default_server;
   listen         [::]:80 default_server;
   server_name    localhost;
   root           /usr/share/nginx/html;
   location / {
       proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3000;
       proxy_http_version 1.1;
       proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
       proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
       proxy_set_header Host $host;
       proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
   }
}

5. Finally, run this command:

sudo service nginx restart
