Hi, @José F. Romaniello that's right I used express here because i thought it will be easier to create login pages and like you said it would be easier to handle sessions and cookies. I am actualy new to javascript ,nodejs and html, I used nginx proxy till now,(being a sys admin) but then this requirement came up and i thought about moving to node js.
