I have installed Parse Server with Socket.io on DigitalOcean.com on Ubuntu 16.04.4 x64
Everything works fine on HTTP
Then I decided to make a connection to the server via SSL protocol, So I been installed NGINX with Let's Encrypt certificates.
NGINX works fine, when I enter in browser mydomain.com I can see NGINX logo and https connection. In this case, everything works fine but there is no access on the port 1337 and to the socket on the port 3000.
Looks like NGINX don't know that he needs to let to the parse server and socket to open ports they needed.
I am iOS Developer and looks like I did something wrong
Any help will be appreciated !!!
Tutorials I used to install everything
Parse Server: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-run-parse-server-on-ubuntu-14-04
NGINX and Certificate https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-secure-nginx-with-let-s-encrypt-on-ubuntu-14-04
This is my NGINX configuration(example.com = mydomain.com)
server {
# SSL configuration
# listen 443 ssl default_server;
# listen [::]:443 ssl default_server;
#
# Note: You should disable gzip for SSL traffic.
# See: https://bugs.debian.org/773332
#
# Read up on ssl_ciphers to ensure a secure configuration.
# See: https://bugs.debian.org/765782
#
# Self signed certs generated by the ssl-cert package
# Don't use them in a production server!

location / {

}

This is my Parse Server init
var api = new ParseServer({
databaseURI: 'mongodb://localhost:27017/admin',
cloud: __dirname + '/cloud/main.js',
appId: 'appId',
masterKey: 'masterKey',
serverURL: 'https://example.com:1337/parse',
liveQuery: {
classNames: ["Posts", "Comments"] // List of classes to support for query subscriptions
}
});
var port = 1337;
var parseServer = require('https').createServer(app);
parseServer.listen(port, function() {
console.log('parse-server-example running on port ' + port + '.');
});
//Socket.io
const socketIO = require('socket.io');
const socketPort = 3000;
var socketServer = require('https').createServer(express());
socketServer.listen(socketPort, function(){
console.log('listening on *:'+socketPort);
});
Well, finally I found the problem and the solution.
I found Parse Dashboard issue case #429(Getting dashboard to run through https)
And I understood that my Parse Server need to tell to NGINX that he need to run in SLL and provide certificates I am created with "Let's Encrypt".
So here is the correct code:
var fs = require('fs');
var https = require('https');
var express = require('express');
var ParseServer = require('parse-server').ParseServer;
var ParseDashboard = require('parse-dashboard');
var path = require('path');
var app = express();
var port = 1337;
var options = { key: fs.readFileSync(path.resolve(__dirname, '/etc/letsencrypt/live/sitedomain/privkey.pem')),
cert: fs.readFileSync(path.resolve(__dirname, '/etc/letsencrypt/live/sitedomain/fullchain.pem')), };
var parse = new ParseServer({ databaseURI: 'mongodb://localhost:540556/admin',
cloud: __dirname + '/cloud/main.js',
appId: 'appId',
masterKey: 'masterKey',
serverURL: 'https://example.com',
liveQuery: { classNames: ["Posts", "Comments"] // List of classes to support for query subscriptions } });
var app = express();
app.use('/public', express.static(path.join(__dirname, '/public')));
app.use('/parse', parse);
app.get('/', function(req, res) { res.status(200).send('404'); });
var server = https.createServer(options, app).listen(port, function() {
console.log("server listening on port " + port);
});
And the same concept for the Socket.io
var socket = null;
function startSocketServer(){
//Socket.io
const express = require('express');
const socketIO = require('socket.io');
const https = require('https');
const socketPort = 3000;
const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');
var options = {
key: fs.readFileSync(path.resolve(__dirname, '/etc/letsencrypt/live/sitedomain/privkey.pem')),
cert: fs.readFileSync(path.resolve(__dirname, '/etc/letsencrypt/live/sitedomain/fullchain.pem')),
};
var socketServer = https.createServer(options, express()).listen(socketPort, function() {
console.log("socketServer listening on port " + socketPort);
});
socket = socketIO(socketServer);
socket.on('connection', (socket) => {
console.log('Client connected');
socket.on('disconnect', () => console.log('Client disconnected'));
});
}
All NGINX configuration was correct
I waste a lot of time and did't found any solution like this in the network.
Hope it will help someone.
Regards.
