How to create Nginx reverse proxy for Node.js application and let Nginx handle SSL on Plesk server?
Answer
If the Node.js and the application are configured via Plesk, as per this article: How to run Node.js application via Plesk, no further configuration is required. Nginx will act as a proxy serving HTTPS requests to the application on port 443.
