https nginx 403 forbidden - node.js

Question

I create droplet on DigitalOcean, setup my nodeJS app on it, connected my domain and everything works ok, but I wanted to setup https andI installed all certificates etc. I run it on CentOS 7.5, my nodeJS app is in this directory:
/home/mdurakovic/mensurdurakovic.com
HTTP works fine, but I when I try to open my website with HTTPS I get error message in browser
403 Forbidden nginx/1.12.2
So I looked up in nginx logs and I see this error:
2019/01/02 23:03:39 [error] 11014#0: *1 directory index of "/home/mdurakovic/mensurdurakovic.com/public/" is forbidden, client: 213.149.62.113, server: mensurdurakovic.com, request: "GET / HTTP/2.0", host: "mensurdurakovic.com"
I changed group permissions so when I execute this command:
f: /home/mdurakovic/mensurdurakovic.com/public/
dr-xr-xr-x root root /
drwxr-xr-x root root home
drwx--x--- mdurakovic nginx mdurakovic
drwxrwxrwx nginx nginx mensurdurakovic.com
drwxrwxrwx nginx nginx public
As you can clearly see, nginx has rights to execute user's home dir, but it still doesn't work. Any help will be appreciated.
EDIT:
Here is my /etc/nginx/conf.d/mensurdurakovic.com.conf file:

}

Answer 1

You are having your http connection proxy the request, but not https. If you add a block in your ssl config (and remove root and resolver) it should work as expected:
location / {
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_pass http://68.183.69.186:8080;
}
