nginx/apache proxy whut?

[jmj]

Hi nodebb Community!

I'm using nodebb since a few days. This software ist amazing, but I am a little bit confused.

My Server is running Debian 7. I'm normally adding a virtual server using webmin. But I never did something with proxys. Could somebody help me to bind a Domain to my nodebb using Port 4567 ?

best wishes
Janis

edit:

I tried this:
https://docs.nodebb.org/en/latest/configuring/proxies/apache.html

Okay, Update!

I installed Ubuntu 1404, (because of missing apache 2.4 for Debian)
and everything else needed. NodeBB is running fine, but rave.dig3.net won't redirect to my nodebb forum...

<VirtualHost *:4567>
ServerName rave.dig3.net
<Proxy *>
    order deny,allow
    allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass /socket.io/1/websocket ws://127.0.0.1:4567/socket.io/1/websocket

ProxyPassReverse /socket.io/1/websocket ws://127.0.0.1:4567/socket.io/1/websocket

ProxyPass /socket.io/ http://127.0.0.1:4567/socket.io/
ProxyPassReverse /socket.io/ http://127.0.0.1:4567/socket.io/

ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:4567/
ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:4567/
</VirtualHost>

Is this right? It redirect me to "Apache2 Ubuntu Default Page" (var/www/html)

<VirtualHost *:4567>

ServerName rave.dig3.net 
<Proxy *>
order deny,allow
allow from all
</Proxy>

I don't use Apache, but it should be looking at port 80. Not 4567.

503 Service Unavailable

but even using nginx it does not work...

502 Bad Gateway

server {
listen 80;

server_name rave.dig3.net;

location / {
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
    proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;

    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:4567/;
    proxy_redirect off;

    # Socket.IO Support
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
   }
  }

I followed the documentation and some posts here... but nothing works

IT WORKS
