Hi there @carstenh,
Are your running this insde a Docker container or directly on your host?
I could suggest a couple of things here:
netstatto check if your service is binded on localhost only:If the output that you get looks like thins:
Then you need to make sure that you update your config to bind on
0.0.0.0:3050instead.0.0.0.0:3050is to setup an Nginx reverse proxy and forward the traffic from port 80 to port 3050.You can do that by following the steps here:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-a-node-js-application-for-production-on-ubuntu-16-04#set-up-nginx-as-a-reverse-proxy-server
Note yo only need to follow the “Set Up Nginx as a Reverse Proxy Server” step.
Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
