Paste the following (replace IP/domain/SSL path as per your setup):

upstream app {
    server 192.169.7.180:3001;
}

server {
    listen 80 default_server;
    server_name dev.domainhere.info;
    return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}

server {
    listen 443 ssl;
    server_name dev.domainhere.info;

    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/dev.domainhere.info/fullchain.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/dev.domainhere.info/privkey.pem;
    include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf;
    ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://app;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-Port $server_port;
