Using reverse proxy server to access the web interface

In order to access the web interface of Audioserve, we need to manually configure a reverse proxy server.

We can use Nginx or Caddy2 as a reverse proxy.

Using Nginx

1. Install Nginx with the following command:

sudo pacman -S nginx

2. Backup the default Nginx configuration file:

sudo cp /etc/nginx/nginx.conf /etc/nginx/nginx.conf.bak

3. Create a new Nginx configuration file:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

4. Paste the following content into the file:

http {
    server {
        listen 80;
        server_name your-domain.com;
        location / {
            proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
        }
    }
}

5. Run the following command to start Nginx:

sudo systemctl start nginx

6. Open your web browser and go to http://your-domain.com. You should be able to access the Audioserve web interface.

Using Caddy2

1. Install Caddy2 with the following command:

sudo pacman -S caddy

2. Backup the default Caddy configuration file:

sudo cp /etc/caddy/caddy.conf /etc/caddy/caddy.conf.bak

3. Create a new Caddy configuration file:

sudo nano /etc/caddy/caddy.conf

4. Paste the following content into the file:

your-domain.com {
  reverse_proxy localhost:3000
}

5. Run the following command to start Caddy2:

sudo systemctl start caddy

6. Open your web browser and go to https://your-domain.com. You should be able to access the Audioserve web interface.

To make sure that nginx or caddy2 starts everytime when booting the system run:

sudo systemctl enable caddy
sudo systemctl enable nginx
