In /etc/nginx/site-enabled/ you need to put a config file that unambiguosly tells nginx: 1. which DNS name(s) to serve from this config 2. what ports 3. what protocols 4. If using SSL/TLS, which certs and algorithms 5. If serving static content, where to begin 6. If serving dynamic content, where to get it A program running on port 5000 is a fine place to serve dynamic content from, but you haven't told nginx about it. I'll bet you that this "kestrel" program comes with documentation about using a reverse proxy, which is what you want nginx to do. -dsr-
