Hi Matteo,

unfortunately the tutorial ends to the installation. To make the nodejs app available outside on Internet, may I suggest you to have a look to this GoDaddy tutorial? I think may be useful: https://it.godaddy.com/help/configurare-lapplicazione-di-nodejs-per-la-produzione-ubuntu-17352?lang=en

Refers to publishing a nodejs app on Ubuntu server using PM2 and NGINX, quite useful modules to do it.

Let me know! Thanks, Fabio.

Hi Matteo

If you're using Nginx server, then my Nginx config for the authoring tool app might be of help.

Put the following file with a name, such as builder in the /etc/nginx/sites-available/  directory with the following content. 

For https

server {
  listen 80;
  # here put your server url
  server_name adapt.example.com;

  # remove this line if you don't set ssl
  return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;

}
server {
  listen 443 ssl;
  server_name adapt.example.com;

  # add Strict-Transport-Security to prevent man in the middle attacks
  add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000";

  # here use your own keys

  ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/214221800250787.pem;

  ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/214221800250787.key;

  ssl_session_timeout 60m;
  ssl_protocols SSLv2 SSLv3 TLSv1;
  ssl_ciphers ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT56:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP;
  ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;

  # if you don't use ssl, move this location part to the above server block

  location / {
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5000;
  }
}

For http only

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name adapt.example.com;

    location / {
        proxy_set_header   X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header   Host      $http_host;
        proxy_pass         http://127.0.0.1:5000;
    }
}

then enable the config above. 

I use a Upstart script that helps automatically start or shutdown the adapt authoring tool with the system start or shutdown.

To create a configuration file for the authoring tool, do the following:

• go into the /etc/init/ directory
• then sudo vi builder.conf with the following content

description "Adapt Authoring Tool Platform"
author      "Sam Xu"
start on runlevel [2345]
stop on shutdown

respawn
respawn limit 99 5

script
    addtime=$(date +"%Y-%m-%d")
    cd /your_authoring_tool_installation_root/
    node server 2>&1 >> /your_logs_dir/adapt-builder.$addtime.log
end script

With this configuration, the Adapt Authoring Tool will start and shutdown with the system. However, you can stop the authoring tool with sudo stop builder or start the tool with sudo start builder and checkout the tool's log with a command such as

tail -f /your_logs_dir/adapt-builder.datetime-log

Hope it helps! Sam
