Thank you for the help. Those instructions didn't work for me, But I was able to figure it all out, FINALLY. NGINX and reverse proxy was a headache. kept wanting to go to mydomain.com:4567. Figured out that on OC under proxypass you have to put mydomain.com:4567 instead of 127.0.0.1:4567. Then restart nginx via service nginx restart. Did everything as root. no need to create a new user with sudo privileges..

I was looking for a tutorial on how to install nodebb on digital ocean, but psychobunnys guide seems to be gone from his burnafterreading site. Dos anyone have a tutorial for this for a newb like myself to install nodebb and nginx to get my site up and running?
