Next, you need to configure NGINX/Apache Server for Reverse Proxy

nano exemple.com

Add new location to your configuration file

location /api {
proxy_pass http://localhost:YourSelectedPort;
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;
}

Replace YourSelectedPort with the port you have previously configured in the .env file.

🖥️ Usage
