I have an app that I would like to load using a domain name instead of the ip:port. It currently loads find with the ip and port but I can not get it to work with a domain. I have created the subdomain A record and tried a few tutorials. None of which seem to work. These two seemed promising but still did not work for me: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-apache-http-server-as-reverse-proxy-using-mod_proxy-extension

Hello,
This is doable with Nginx. You can follow the instructions from step 5 from this tutorial here on how to setup Nginx as a reverse proxy for your Node.js App:
