The webserver is the **trains-server**'s component responsible for serving the Trains webapp.
|

|
|
|
For this purpose, we use an [NGINX](https://www.nginx.com/) server.
|
|
|

|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
In order to serve the Trains webapp, the following is required:
|
|
|
|
|
* The pre-built Trains webapp should be copied to the NGINX html directory (usually `/usr/share/nginx/html`)
|

|
|
|
* The default NGINX port (usually `80`) should be changed to match the **trains-server** configuration (usually `8080`)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE: This configuration may vary in different systems, depending on the NGINX version and distribution used.

|
|
|
#### Example: Centos 7
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following commands can be used to install and run NGINX in the Centos 7 OS:
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
yum install nginx
|
|
|
|
|
cp -R /path/to/trains-webapp/build/* /var/www/html
|
|
|
|
|
systemctl enable nginx
|
|
|
|
|
systemctl start nginx
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
