TL;DR - You probably don't need Nginx and you definitely don't need
Passenger.
Node is different from Ruby in that it doesn't really need an HTTP proxy to
sit in front of it (LinkedIn famously removed their front-end proxies a few
years ago). When you run peerjs, it's starting an http server already. You
can just hit the port it's listening to. Peerjs probably says what port
it's listening to when it starts up. You can just use that for dev.
In production, this may vary a bit. If you're running in amazon, then an
ELB/ALB will sit in front of your service and will direct traffic to this
service:port. If not, you may want nginx for SSL termination or to split
traffic on a path, but this is just a straight proxy_pass, not Passenger.
Here's an excerpt from the nginx docs on setting up a simple proxy.
server { # simple load balancing
listen 80;
server_name big.server.com;
access_log logs/big.server.access.log main;
location / {
proxy_pass http://big_server_com;
}
}
