Nginx | 2 Domains (1x Node App, 1x Static HTML) on one server - html

Question

I am having trouble running one node app and one static page (just html) on two seperate domains at the same time. No matter what I tried the static domain gets always redirected to the node app (on port 3000)
Here are the "sites-available" files :
Node App :
server {
listen [::]:80;
listen 80;
server_name www.domain1.com domain1.com;
# and redirect to the https host (declared below)
return 301 https://domain1.com$request_uri;
}
server {
listen 443;
server_name domain1.com www.domain1.com;
ssl on;
# Use certificate and key provided by Let's Encrypt:
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/domain1.com/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/domain1.com/privkey.pem;
ssl_session_timeout 5m;
ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
ssl_ciphers 'EECDH+AESGCM:EDH+AESGCM:AES256+EECDH:AES256+EDH';
location / {
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
proxy_pass http://localhost:3000/;
proxy_ssl_session_reuse off;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
proxy_redirect off;
}
}
And the static one :
server {
listen [::]:80;
listen 80;
#server_name www.domain2.com domain2.com;
root /var/www/html/domain2;
index index.html index.htm;
return 301 https://domain2.com$request_uri;
}
server {
listen [::]:443 ssl;
listen 443 ssl;
root /var/www/html/domain2;
index index.html index.htm;
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/domain2.com/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/domain2.com/privkey.pem;
}
The default config file is empty. Any help/hint would be greatly appreciated.
It worked fine until I generated a Let's encrypt certificate for domain2, put both domains in seperate configs and removed the default.
Thank you in advance!

The problem is that you have no server_name directive in your static domain configuration. As a result, the request is always caught by your default server block, which appears to be your node app.
