Django Channels Server Configuration : Ubuntu. 404 on handshake

I'm trying to configure django channels to run on my ubuntu server(digital ocean).

I have redis-server running on port 6379. Daphne is listening on endpoint unix:/home/mysite/sockets/mysite.sock with HTTP/2 support enabled(not sure that's required at this stage) I also have one ./manage.py runworker Listening. My daphne run command was

daphne -u /home/mysite/sockets/mysite.sock project.asgi:channel_layer

My http requests come through(in the daphne log) as they did in my local environment e.g. 

#local
127.0.0.1:62241 - - [09/Oct/2017:21:03:41] "GET /playground/channel-simple" 200 1826

#server (side note. not sure why port + host are eliminated here.?)
None - - [09/Oct/2017:21:53:51] "GET /playground/channel-simple" 200 1622

However, when I request a websocket url via js everything falls to pieces...

#local
127.0.0.1:62268 - - [09/Oct/2017:21:03:43] "WSCONNECTING /chat/private-room/" - -
127.0.0.1:62268 - - [09/Oct/2017:21:03:43] "WSCONNECT /chat/private-room/" - -

#server
None - - [09/Oct/2017:21:54:04] "GET /chat/private-room/" 404 86

It looks like it's treating the request as an http request rather than a websocket connection? This is also the js console log...

#server - js response to connection
WebSocket connection to 'ws://[MY-IP]/chat/private-room/' failed: Error during WebSocket handshake: Unexpected response code: 404

Can anyone advise as to where this 404 might be getting fired? Or any tips on debugging.

Thanks.

I've figured out the issue here and have now got it working on the server as expected. I had not completed the nginx config. Noob :).

The following articles were of great use.
