[QUESTION] NestJS + Typescript + BullMQ + Bull Board Production Deployment with Nginx as Reverse Proxy

[tirth0]

Greetings, I have deployed bullboard with bullmq and nestjs with the following configuration:
There is a local redis instance on the remote server.
This is in the imports section in app.module.ts:

    BullModule.forRoot({
      connection: {
        host: 'localhost',
        port: <PORT>,
      },
    }),
    //register the bull-board module forRoot in your app.module
    BullBoardModule.forRoot({
      route: "/queues",
      adapter: ExpressAdapter
    }),

This works absolutely fine in local setup, but once deployed on production it gets stuck on a loading page:

In Nginx, my app is served under a subpath app making the URL : https://my-app.com/app/queues

I want to know what configuration changes is required for me to set up bullboard UI properly with my configuration.
Any help is appreciated!

It stuck in loading since all app files are not downloaded (your server returns 404 for .css, .js) files.
Looks like an nginx misconfig, can you share your nginx config?

[tirth0]

My configuration for the location block in nginx is as follows:

    location /app/ {
      proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
      proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
      proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
      proxy_ssl_session_reuse off;
      proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
      proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
      proxy_redirect off;
      client_max_body_size 100M;
      proxy_read_timeout 600;
      proxy_connect_timeout 600;
      proxy_send_timeout 600;
      proxy_headers_hash_max_size 512;
      proxy_headers_hash_bucket_size 128;
      proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
      proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
      proxy_http_version 1.1;
      proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
      proxy_set_header Host $host;
      proxy_pass http://port
    }

In the dist folder for the nest app, there is only a main.js file after the build step. Where should I be looking for the static files?

[felixmosh]

Do you ave any block that configures static files?

[tirth0]

No I do not. Is there any documentation regarding how to set it up with nest? I was unable to locate it.

[AnandPatel404]

same issue here i have block that configures static files so how i allies it to bull static files

[AnandPatel404]

NOTE : THIS IS NOT SOLUTION TELL ME IS THIS VALID OR NOT 😅
i just copy whole file from \node_modules@bull-board\ui\dist\static and past in public/admin/queue/

it work for me

[felixmosh]

The lib should handle it's static files... it works properly with all other adapters.
So probably there is some issue with "handling" the routes from Nest.js to the lib...

it work for me

Could you show me your example? Thanks bro. Because I pass in pulic folder, it does't work.
This is my code.
`const serverAdapter = new ExpressAdapter();
serverAdapter.setBasePath('/bullmq-dashboard');

app.use('/bullmq-dashboard', express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public/admin/queue/')));

app.use('/bullmq-dashboard', serverAdapter.getRouter());`

[AnandPatel404]

step 1 :- got to /node_modules/@bull-board/ui/dist/static and copy whole static folder
step 2 :- create a folder in your public directory and name it as your bull board route name in my case my bull board route is /admin/queue so i create a folder name /admin/queue
step 3 :- pest static folder in it and done

[fifa334]

`const serverAdapter = new ExpressAdapter(); serverAdapter.setBasePath('/bullmq-dashboard');

app.use('/bullmq-dashboard', express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public/admin/queue/')));

app.use('/bullmq-dashboard', serverAdapter.getRouter());`

Hi bro,not need put this code in main.js ?
`const serverAdapter = new ExpressAdapter();
serverAdapter.setBasePath('/bullmq-dashboard');

app.use('/bullmq-dashboard', express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public/admin/queue/')));

app.use('/bullmq-dashboard', serverAdapter.getRouter());`
