I’ve installed nginx on a brand new ubuntu droplet.
I can see the default welcome page using curl http://localhost
I can not see the page when using my browser to access http://my.droplet.ip.address/.
Are there default firewall rules in place that might be stopping this from working, how do I allow access from my home machine to the nginx server.
Thanks, Peter
