Reflex production environment - Question

[toghraee]

Hi Everyone

I'm in process of making my first reflex app into production mode and put it on my VPS running nginx.
So far after spending hours, no joy and and I cannot get the app running.
I am running "reflex run --env prod" , which creates listeners on 3000 (frontend) and 8000 (backend),.
I have added a "api_url="http://codemydomain,com:8000", in rx.config. and I have exposed port 8000 on server directly without nginx.

I have created a reverse proxy on nginx to route https://codemydomain.com -> http://127.0.0.1:3000 for frontend.

Problem is when I access the https://codemydomain.com , the page is not rendering properly and I found that the browser is not connecting to the backend (http://codemydomain,com:8000) , I foundout running wireshark on my laptop.

However if I access the forntend directly without Nginx proxy (http://codemydomain,com:3000) , it works perfectly fine and I can see some request to port 8000 as well.

My question is what is the correct way to host Reflex in prod behind the Nginx?
Should I run reflex and allow it to serve on port 3000 ?

Thanks
