Configuring nginx for PERN App docker compose! [DevOps Office Hours Ep. 06 -- Featuring Donny Roufs]

A live DevOps session (episode 6 of a series) where a PERN stack app called League Decks is being dockerized and prepared for production on DigitalOcean. The main focus is configuring nginx as a reverse proxy within a Docker Compose setup to serve a React frontend (built into static files) and proxy API requests to a Node.js/Express backend. The session covers multi-stage Docker builds, separating database migration from the API server service, debugging nginx upstream directives, and planning a PostgreSQL database dump/restore workflow for migrating from the existing droplet to the new dockerized setup.
