Ubuntu + nginx Cloud

Use this if you have an Ubuntu server. You run the app in Docker. Nginx is the door on ports 80 and 443. It forwards traffic to the app.

The app still listens on 127.0.0.1:2000. That is the website and the API together.

You still need MongoDB. That is the database. Docker does not start it for you.

When Docker builds the app, it clones GitHub. It does not use folders on your laptop.

Agent Workspace is optional. Do steps 1 to 8 to run the app. Do steps 9 to 12 only if you want the agent desktop.
