Use nginx to reverse proxy, ideally to port 443 instead of port 3000 so that you don’t need to specify the port number:

```
# /etc/nginx/sites-available/genieacs.conf
# Nginx configuration for genieacs services
# Ensure you change the listening IP address
# If you're allergic to security, you can remove the `add_header`
# lines without breaking functionality

upstream genieacs-ui {
        server 127.0.0.1:3000;
}

server {
        listen 80 default_server;
	listen [::]:80 default_server;
        server_name genieacs.example.com;

        add_header Content-Security-Policy "default-src 'self'" always;
        add_header Referrer-Policy "no-referrer" always;
        add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff" always;
        add_header X-Frame-Options "sameorigin" always;
        add_header X-XSS-Protection "1; mode block" always;

        location /.well-known {
                alias /var/www/html/.well-known;
        }

        location / {
                return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
        }
}

server {
        listen 443 ssl http2 default_server;
	listen [::]:443 ssl http2 default_server;
        server_name genieacs.example.com;
