From this server (localhost): curl http://localhost/ curl http://localhost/api/health 2. From your local network: http://192.168.10.130/ 3. From the internet (after port forwarding): http://houseofprayer.ddns.net/ 🔧 Service Management: Check all services: ./manage-services.sh status sudo systemctl status nginx Restart services: ./manage-services.sh restart sudo systemctl restart nginx View logs: ./manage-services.sh logs # Backend sudo tail -f /var/log/nginx/church-music-access.log sudo tail -f /var/log/nginx/church-music-error.log 🔒 Next Steps - SSL/HTTPS Setup: Once your DNS is working from outside, add HTTPS: 1. Install certbot: sudo apt install certbot python3-certbot-nginx 2. Get SSL certificate: sudo certbot --nginx -d houseofprayer.ddns.net 3. Certbot will automatically: • Get free SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt • Update nginx configuration • Enable HTTPS redirect • Setup auto-renewal 4. Access your site securely: https://houseofprayer.ddns.net 📁 Configuration Files: Nginx Config: /etc/nginx/sites-available/church-music /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/church-music /media/pts/Website/Church_HOP_MusicData/nginx-http.conf Backend CORS: /media/pts/Website/Church_HOP_MusicData/backend/app.py (Updated to allow houseofprayer.ddns.net) Service Files: /etc/systemd/system/church-music-backend.service /etc/systemd/system/church-music-frontend.service 🛠️ Troubleshooting: Site not accessible from outside: • Check router port forwarding (port 80) • Verify DNS points to your public IP • Test: curl -I http://houseofprayer.ddns.net 502 Bad Gateway: • Check backend/frontend services are running • sudo systemctl status church-music-backend • sudo systemctl status church-music-frontend Nginx errors: • Test config: sudo nginx -t • Check logs: sudo tail -f /var/log/nginx/error.log • Restart: sudo systemctl restart nginx 📱 Mobile Access: Once port forwarding is set up, access from anywhere: • Phone browser: http://houseofprayer.ddns.net • Tablet: http://houseofprayer.ddns.net • Any computer: http://houseofprayer.ddns.net No more remembering ports or IP addresses! 🎯 What You Can Do Now: ✓ Share ONE simple URL: houseofprayer.ddns.net ✓ No need to remember :5100 or :8080 ✓ Professional-looking URL ✓ Works on all devices ✓ Ready for SSL/HTTPS ✓ Auto-starts on server reboot 💡 Pro Tips: 1.
