Setup nginx

When used in a production environment it is recommended to use a web server nginx. Configure the web server is reduced to specifying a directory for distribution static, location for the files, and optional authentication.

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name pavo.local;
    
    access_log /usr/local/var/log/nginx/pavo/access.log;
    error_log /usr/local/var/log/nginx/pavo/error.log notice;
    
    location /auth {
        internal;
        proxy_method GET;
        proxy_set_header Content-Length "";
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_pass_request_body off;
        proxy_pass http://localhost:3000/auth/url/in/your/app;
        proxy_set_header X-Original-URI $request_uri;
        client_max_body_size 0;
    }

    location /files {
        auth_request /auth;
    
        client_body_temp_path     /tmp;
        client_body_in_file_only  on;
        client_body_buffer_size   521K;
        client_max_body_size      10G;
    
        proxy_pass_request_headers on;
        proxy_set_header X-FILE $request_body_file;
        proxy_pass_request_body off;
        proxy_set_header Content-Length 0;
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:9073;
    }
    
    location / {
        root /Path/To/Root/Of/Storage;
    }
}

These settings allow you to save the request body into a temporary file and pass on our application link to the file in the header X-File.
