nginx and meteorjs - how to rewrite the URL to include port?

I confused on how to rewrite the URL for meteorjs requests that has a http address of http://IP/<LettersHere>meteor_js_resource=true to http://IP:3000/<LettersHere>meteor_js_resource=true.

If I access my site's URL:3000, then I can get all the static files from the meteor application.

enter image description here

However, if I tried this nginx configuration file to route URL:3000 to URL/someURL so when people access my site, they don't need the 3000 port number, but instead /someURL:

server {
    listen 0.0.0.0:80;

    server_name domain.com;

    location /youtube-channel-search 
    {
      proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
      proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
      proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
      proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
      proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
      proxy_redirect off;
      proxy_http_version 1.1;
      proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
      proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
      rewrite http://domain.com http://domain.com:3000 permanent;
    }
}

Then I get an error where the js file cannot be found:

enter image description here

This is correct, since http://IP/URL is not http://IP:3000/URL.

How should I rewrite the incoming requests to add an extra port :3000? I thought the proxy_pass automatically takes care of this.

Thanks

I figured it out.

You will need to change ROOT_URL environmental parameter of the meteorJS application to localhost:3000/youtube-channel-search.

Using the same nginx.conf would work.

This is because some of the sockjs and static files are mapped to the localhost:3000, without the trailing /youtube-channel-search.
