Hello, I am just messing around with Ruby on the Rails, so I've installed simple app to learn from it, however it runs on domain:3000 port

How do I change it to open on just domain.com ?

Install a webserver and forward requests to port 3000.

    That is easy:

    ```sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/virtual.conf

    Change it to :
    A virtual host using mix of IP-, name-, and port-based configuration

    server {
    listen 80;

    listen *:80; 
    server_name  DOMAIN.COM;

location / {
    proxy_set_header   X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header   Host      $http_host;
    proxy_pass         http://127.0.0.1:PORT;
}

    }

    Save and :

```sudo service nginx restart
