- Type “sudo -s” to become root:
admin@iZj6c24msyh0q6ggkaq970Z:~$ sudo -s
sudo: unable to resolve host iZj6c24msyh0q6ggkaq970Z
root@iZj6c24msyh0q6ggkaq970Z:/home/admin#
- Install nginx by executing the following command: apt install nginx
It is fails with package not found then update apt: apt update
and run again command: apt install nginx
- In the text below, change <smsplatorfm IP> with the IP address from the SMS Master (smsplatform VM) instance:
server {
listen 80 default_server;
server_name _;
error_log /var/log/nginx/shortlink.error.log;
access_log /var/log/nginx/shortlink.access.log;
location / {
proxy_pass http://<smsplatorfm IP>:4598;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
}
}
-
Copy the above text, then from terminal window type: cat > /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default, paste the text and press Ctrl-D
double check the file (in the example below the IP set is 35.197.120.7:
admin@iZj6c24msyh0q6ggkaq970Z:~$ cat /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default
server {
listen 80 default_server;
server_name _;
error_log /var/log/nginx/shortlink.error.log;
access_log /var/log/nginx/shortlink.access.log;
location / {
proxy_pass http://35.197.120.7:4598;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
}
}
admin@iZj6c24msyh0q6ggkaq970Z:~$
-
Execute “service nginx restart”. The console window should look like this:
admin@iZj6c24msyh0q6ggkaq970Z:~$service nginx restart
admin@iZj6c24msyh0q6ggkaq970Z:~$
-
At the bottom of the terminal window you should see [ Debian Publi IP: <IP of Server> ]
Record the public for next step
-
From SIMBERRY Google Cloud, open a terminal session to the smsplatform VM:
Type “sudo -s” to become root
Edit file “/var/www/mobius/mobius-api/.env” (mcedit, vi, ...)
Go to last line, bottom of the file and set EXTERNAL_IP=<Publi IP shortlink proxy server>
Save and quit.
-
You are done ! No need of restarting any of the 2 servers
