3. Add the following configuration:

   server {
       listen 80;
       server_name frontend.civkit.africa;
   
       location / {
           proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3001;
           proxy_http_version 1.1;
           proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
           proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
           proxy_set_header Host $host;
           proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
       }
   }
   
   server {
       listen 80;
       server_name api.civkit.africa;
   
       location / {
           proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3000;
           proxy_http_version 1.1;

           proxy_set_header Host $host;
           proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
       }
   }
   
   server {
       listen 80;
       server_name chat.civkit.africa;
   
       location / {
           proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3456;
           proxy_http_version 1.1;
           proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
           proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
           proxy_set_header Host $host;
           proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
       }
   }

4. Enable the configuration:

   sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/civkit-frontend-api /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
   

5. Test Nginx configuration:

   sudo nginx -t
   

6. Reload Nginx:

   sudo systemctl reload nginx
   

7. Install Certbot for SSL:
