Dynamically create subdomains on AWS EC2 with Node js

Question

How do I dynamically create subdomains for my Node Js app hosted on AWS EC2?

For instance, I want to allow users to create their own subdomains when they register such as john.mydomain.com.

Hosting: AWS EC2 Server: Node Front-end: Angular

You would need to wildcard your subdomains so that everything resolves to mydomain.com. There's a node.js package for handling this. https://github.com/patmood/wildcard-subdomains.

thanks for your answer. do I need to make changes on Apache / virtual host as well? – Manvendra Singh Jan 02 '20 at 09:13
Yes, I can't help you with Apache tho. I'm working on nginx. But one thing is for sure that you'll need to make changes at both places. – denchie Jan 02 '20 at 14:21
