I’m using ‘one click’ made droplet with node.js. i got nginx running and showing its default page when i go to the IP address of the droplet. i have cloned my project into the droplet and ‘npm install’ it, i can run it using ‘npm run dev – -p <port>’ and i can see the message it’s running. i have tried few ports but i can’t figure out what i’m missing. when i go to ‘000.00.000.000’ i see nginx default page, and when i try ‘000.00.000.000:3000’ or other port i get nothing. Please help me figure out what to do, i’m already started ‘using’ and it’s costs money. thanks.
