How to properly configure Taiga production environment? - json

Question

I am facing a similar issue as #415 and #367. I just completed installation on Ubuntu 16.04, DigitalOcean. I also followed the guide on the docs about deploying a production Taiga.
When I try to connect from an external system, I get the oompa loompas error message with the Js console showing:
http://138.28.207.46:8000/api/v1/ Failed to load resource: could not connect to server.
If I remove :8000 from ~/taiga-front-dist/dist/conf.json I get a different error:
http://138.28.207.46/api/v1/ Failed to load resource: 502 bad gateway
In issue #415 and #367 they managed to fix it, but none of them described which ports from which files need to be changed.

Answer 1

I use Digital Ocean as well to host. My port uses 8001 not 8000. Not sure if that helps or not. I am going over SSL and using a few plugins (Slack and GIT), so the code may be a little different on my install. I posted my code for my working installation so you can compare vs. yours. Hopefully this helps.
