Having slight issues with install on arch with nginx

[sigmap]

I have nginx and yarn installed. trying to use the suggested nginx config is giving me 502's and errors. And when I'm not getting 502's I get Unable to connect to the Notica server. Attempting to reconnect....

Are there any deps I should have in addition to yarn and nginx? And Can I get away without running yarn start? I'm trying to have this running on a small box to push notifications to my desktop when tasks on my server are done.

You did yarn install before, right?

Does sound like an nginx issue. Can you post your exact nginx config here?

If you don't want to run yarn start, I recommend supervisor to keep notica running.

I did yarn install, however it seemed there were files missing and a few errors about webpack deps.

the .conf I have for notica

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

            root /usr/share/webapps/Notica/views/;
            index index.html index.htm;
            types_hash_max_size 4096;
            types_hash_bucket_size 128;

            server_name push.local.server;

           #location / {
        #                proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3000/;
        #                proxy_set_header Host $http_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;
        #        }

server_name needs a semicolon and why's the proxy_pass section commented out?

[sigmap]

If I didn't comment out the proxy_pass section I get a 502 unless I comment out proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; which then gives me a blank, white page.

Can you get Notica running with yarn start and confirm with curl http://127.0.0.1:3000/ ?

[sigmap]

I can confirm it is running

                                                        This is bad news for Notica, because we need Javascript to run!

Perfect! If it's listening on port 3000, then this nginx config should be all you need:

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

    root /var/www/html;
    index index.html index.htm;

    server_name push.local.server;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3000/;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_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;
    }
}
