Friends,
I followed exactly this guides
https://strapi.io/documentation/3.0.0-beta.x/deployment/nginx-proxy.html
But nginx refuses to restart:
Jul 08 23:09:46 vps22253.publiccloud.com.br nginx[93450]: nginx: [emerg] host not found in upstream “strapi” in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/strapi.conf:27
Any clue for me?
Thanks!

Did you create the upstream.conf file specified here: Strapi’s documentation | Strapi Documentation
Also what OS are you using as certain versions of linux don’t, by default, load the /etc/nginx/conf.d directory (CentOS, Debian, and RHEL come to mind. However Ubuntu does)
Author
Thanks for your support!
I’m using Ubuntu 18,04 LTS.
And yes, I think that I have all the files required:
/etc/nginx/conf.d/upstream.conf
upstream strapi {
server 127.0.0.1:1337;
}
/etc/nginx/sites-available/strapi.conf (Subfolder unified config)
server {
# Listen HTTP
listen 80;
server_name _;
# Redirect HTTP to HTTPS
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}
server {
# Listen HTTP
listen 443 ssl;
server_name _;
# SSL config
ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/certs/iRedMail.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/private/iRedMail.key;
# Static Root
location / {
root /var/www/html;
}
# Strapi API and Admin
location /api/ {
rewrite ^/api/(.*)$ /$1 break;
proxy_pass http://strapi;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "Upgrade";
proxy_pass_request_headers on;
}
}
After writed /etc/nginx/sites-available/strapi.conf I made a symlink to /etc/nginx/sites-enebled:
ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/strapi.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
And I didn’t forgot /config/server.js
module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
host: env('HOST', '0.0.0.0'),
port: env.int('PORT', 1337),
url: 'https://botboutique.com.br/api',
});
Strange, no?

Can you run a service nginx configtest then tail the nginx error log tail /var/log/nginx/error.log. That should dump out the exact problem with the config and why it’s failing.

Morning, @derrickmehaffy !
here is the log:

It seems that the host in upstream wasn’t found.
But /etc/nginx/conf.d/upstream.conf exists and I tried variuos combinations:
upstream strapi {
server 127.0.0.1:1337;
}
upstream strapi {
server localhost:1337;
}
upstream strapi {
server botboutique.com.br:1337;
}
Seems that the server pointed in upstream.conf isn’t been recognized.
Collaborator
Indeed it seems it’s being ignored, in your /etc/nginx/nginx.conf there should be a line in the http { } block that looks like include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf; (It should be above the line include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;)
Collaborator
Looking at a freshly installed nginx on ubuntu server 20.04 the bottom half of my nginx.conf looks like this:
...
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;

Hi @derrickmehaffy !
Putting include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf in nginx worked like a charm, thank you.
But despite there’s no error message about nginx and npm start , I can’t access the admin area 
Author
I edited the previous message, because I can’t get access to admin, even with no erroes in npm start my-project. When I tried to access “botboutique.com.br:1337/admin” or “botboutique.com.br:1337/api/admin” shows me an SSL error SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG.
Collaborator
You shouldn’t be trying to access it on :1337, based on what your Strapi console is showing you would access it without the port.
Collaborator
@LuizCesarLeite did you still need help with this?
Author
Sorry my lack of attention and detail: I have a ./config/server.js file with
module.exports = ({ env }) =>({
host: env('HOST', '0.0.0.0'),
port: env.int('PORT', 1337),
url: 'https://botboutique.com.br/api',
})
So, when try to access by this URL (or https://botboutique.com.br/api/admin), I get a 404 message
