nginx setup

nginx server block
server should already be set up to reverse proxy node js servers running express

add a new location block

see location block section

    location /newRouteName {
      add_header X-app2-message "newRouteName section entered" always;
      proxy_pass http://localhost:1027;
      proxy_http_version 1.1;
      proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
      proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
      proxy_set_header Host $host;
      proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
    }

each route needs the different port that node.js is listening on

proxy_pass http://localhost:[yourNewPort];

set up an express server with the given route

  npm init -y
  npm i express body-parser cors chalk request hbs

express
