2.

Locate your DNS Records

3.

Add an "A Record"

With the following information

Subdomain or @ to use the whole domain	your servers IPV4 Adress

4.

You will need to be able to access your servers terminal for these following steps

List the ufw application profiles by typing:

$  sudo ufw app list

You will receive a list of the application profiles:

Output
Available applications:
  Apache
  Apache Full
  Apache Secure
  OpenSSH

As indicated by the output, there are three profiles available for Apache:

Apache: This profile opens only port 80 (normal, unencrypted web traffic)

Apache Full: This profile opens both port 80 (normal, unencrypted web traffic) and port 443 (TLS/SSL encrypted traffic)

Apache Secure: This profile opens only port 443 (TLS/SSL encrypted traffic)

5.

Enable the following Apache Modules

$  sudo a2enmod proxy
$  sudo a2enmod proxy_http
$  sudo a2enmod proxy_balancer
$  sudo a2enmod lbmethod_byrequests

Restart Apache

$  sudo systemctl restart apache2

6.

Configuring our webserver

$  cd /etc/apache2/sites-available

Once you run ls you should see 000-default.conf

Copying the default configuration

$  cp 000-default.conf dashboard.conf

nano dashboard.conf

Edit the default configuration to the below configuration

<VirtualHost *:80>
        # The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
        # the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
        # redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
        # specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
        # match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
        # value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
        # However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.
        #ServerName www.example.com

        ServerName yourdomain.com
        ProxyRequests On
        ProxyPreserveHost On

        ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/ # <-- Change the port if your bot is running on a different port
        ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/

        # Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,
        # error, crit, alert, emerg.
        # It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular
        # modules, e.g.
        #LogLevel info ssl:warn

        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

        # For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are
        # enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to
        # include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the
        # following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only
        # after it has been globally disabled with "a2disconf".
        #Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf
</VirtualHost>
