Install OpenProject on Ubuntu 12.04 with nginx

Hello buddy,

I am running a Droplet with Ubuntu 18.04. I have added a domain, lets say xyz.com with WordPress (SSL installed successfully) - and this is running fine. Now i would like to install openproject in a subdomain - lets say openproject.xyz.com (i have also created the subdomain perfectly with SSL installed - uploaded a dummy test html page onto it and it works just fine). But i am not able to install the openproject software package in the requite subdomain. I am using putty and have a root login as well. Any suggestions/help will be highly appreciated. Thanks

Looking at the installation instructions, it looks like it is a rails app the is served on port 3000. So you’d simply need to add a server block that acts as a reverse proxy. It would look something like: <pre> upstream app_server { server 127.0.0.1:3000 fail_timeout=0; }

server { listen 80; server_name projects.example.com; root /path/to/openproject/public;

 location / {
       try_files $uri/index.html $uri.html $uri @app;     
 }

 location @app {
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_redirect off;
        proxy_pass http://app_server;
}

} </pre> For production, you’ll probably want to look into using something like passenger to serve the app.
