How to access my self hosted software installed on DO?

Posted on March 17, 2015

I wanted to try out Taiga.io so I decided to spin up a droplet to selfhost it using docker. I have it installed via docker and it works with localhost, but i don’t know how to access it from outside the host server. This is my first experience in networking, so the answer may be obvious, but assistance would be appreciated.

You will likely want to set up nginx with a proxy_pass configuration to route traffic from port 80 on your public interface to the port your app is running on on localhost. You can install nginx with:

apt-get update;
apt-get install nginx

And then set up a proxy pass configuration to point to your app on localhost.
