This is an example of how to configure nginx to serve a meteor app.

meteor-nginx

server {
  listen 80;
  server_name app.example.com;
  rewrite ^ https://$server_name$request_uri? permanent;
}

server {
  listen 443;
  server_name app.example.com;

  ssl on;
  ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/ssl.crt;
  ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/ssl.key;

  location = /favicon.ico {
    root /home/ubuntu/app/bundle/programs/web.browser/app;
    access_log off;
    expires 1w;
  }

  location ~* "^/[a-z0-9]{40}\.(css|js)$" {
    root /home/ubuntu/app/bundle/programs/web.browser;
    access_log off;
    expires max;
  }

  location ~ "^/packages" {
    root /home/ubuntu/app/bundle/programs/web.browser;
    access_log off;
  }

  location / {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
