This application integrates the following services & APIs:

• eccoin node rpc - RPC documentation is not ready yet.

Adding DNS or SSL

If you want to add DNS or SSL through Nginx and certbot, you can follow the configuration steps here on ubuntu 18.04+.

Once it is setup, make sure to add a proxy_pass rule instead of serving the files on the filesystem:

location / {
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/;
}   

You can use whichever port is defined in the config folder of this application, but by default it runs on port 8080. If SSL is enabled, make sure the rule that you update with a proxy_pass is a secure one.
