HTTPS with Nginx and Nodejs - node.js

Question

So I used certbot to configure Nginx for https. That worked well (I used the automatic configuration).
Now how can I configure my Node.js back end to be able to make GET/POST requests from the front end that is being hosted with Nginx?
EDIT:
location /api {
proxy_pass http://localhost:3000; #server port
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;
}
location / {
# First attempt to serve request as file, then
# as directory, then fall back to displaying a 404.
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}

Answer 1

If you have correctly configured your Nginx with SSl and your node application. The requests you send should work with https://URL . Please check your nginx.conf and verify the following things.
You can add ssl cert in Nginx with
ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/server.crt #cert location
ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/server.key #key location
in your server block in Nginx.And your nodejs App should be configured like this in the server block
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:3000; #server port
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;
}
This will be sufficient for your server to work with SSL.
