could anyone help me running a Parse Server with HTTPS Connection on my Debian machine?
I already use HTTPS for my websites like https://hrt100.de/ but the NodeJS will run always with HTTP.
Thanks a lot for every answer

I am having issues with running NodeJS as a backend for a React application (website) when utilizing HTTPS. The NodeJS runs on port 3001 waiting for requests. When React is running on IIS on HTTP and queries NodeJS (http://localhost:3001) everything is fine. However if I deploy SSL on the React application then the communication between React and NodeJS fails. I believe it is the security restriction of HTTPS and HTTP interacting.
The question then is, how do I run node on port 3001 but on HTTPS to deal with HTTPS origin requests?
I have looked at Reverse Proxy (https://dev.to/petereysermans/hosting-a-node-js-application-on-windows-with-iis-as-reverse-proxy-397b), looked at IISnode which doesn't seem to be supported anymore and read up on running NodeJS on HTTPS (which doesn't seem to be a viable solution).
Looking for any guidance and direction.
Much appreciated.
Ok, typical that 10 minutes after you ask, you figure it out.
This is how I resolved the issue and someone more knowledgeable might correct me.
On IIS you have your HTTPS React website
Create a second Website on IIS (that also has SSL installed so can be accessed through Https).
On this second website you install the reverse proxy solution (https://dev.to/petereysermans/hosting-a-node-js-application-on-windows-with-iis-as-reverse-proxy-397b) and route the requests to port 3001 on NodeJS application.
Effectively this means that the React application running on Https can now call NodeJS on Https (e.g. https://mynode.mysite.com) and the reverse proxy forwards the request to the NodeJS application on port 3001 (or the port that you are running NodeJs).
If I am wrong (this worked for me) or have gone the long route, please feel free to correct.
Thank you.
I have a server running centos 7 using cpanel and whm with csf. I am trying to run a nodejs express application on it that listens on port 3000. In order to do so, I added the line tcp|in|d=3000|s=0.0.0.0 to csf.allow.
When I run the code and use wget localhost:3000, I get the html files as expected, but if I try to connect from a browser the server just doesn't get the request. Am I doingsomehting wrong?
I am new to Linux and server management, so sorry in advance if I didn't give enough information. I'll be happy to provide more if needed.
If anyone stumbles upon this from Google, the problem was that my server provider was blocking uncommon ports. I mailed them and after two minutes the problem was solved.
i do deploy a website in nginx and translate it from http to https using let's cerbot before. it runs well.
My question is, in my website, i need to access my own Node.js Server using axios. As before, i used http, it goes well expect security.But now, below the Https connect, the browser blocks my http connect.So i tried update my Node Server to support Https connect using Self-signed SSL certificates, but the browser blocks it as well.
Who can tell me how can i fix this problem and make the site work well.Thank you!
You should setup nginx as reverse proxy for nodejs server
I am new with SSH. I have SSH server with Cent OS and I need create Node.js program use Express. After install Node.js I run node and next tried connection to server in browser with this URL:
http://IP_ADDRESS:3000/. But get error Can't connect to server.
Sorry for my stupid question, but help me with this problem. What I need do for send request to node.js server.
Although the question is quite vague, it could be that your server's firewall is preventing you from accessing port 3000 from its external IP.

I have configured tomcat to accept ssl connection by configuring the keystore. since my tomcat server handles application specific rest api calls. I want to setup a node-proxy server to proxy the request for https to tomcat, can anyone please educate me regarding how to achieve this.
you should work with node request module.
