Amazon Lightsail running ASP.NET Core web application - Unable to access website from browser

I'm having trouble getting my ASP.NET Core MVC web application deployed on Amazon's Lightsail hosting.

I've followed this article on Using Amazon Lightsail for ASP.NET Core to get my aspnetcore 2.1 application build into a service and nginx forwarding any accesses on the site from port 80 to port 5000.

Service Status

My Lightsail instance is running perfectly fine: Lightsail Status

From the SSH terminal, if I do a wget http://localhost, it returns an error saying there is no certificate. I have to force it with wget http://localhost --no-check-certificate, which then returns the index.html file for the webpage.

When going to the Static IP for my Lightsail instance on Chrome, however, nothing comes up on the webpage, saying "The site can't be reached".

If I had to guess what the issue is, it would be something about the certificate. I've searched around for solutions to that but found nothing of help.

What am I missing to get this application to run on the Lightsail Static IP so users can visit my website?

Did you open up the port on the lightsail firewall?

From your detail page for your instance click on networking and ensure you've added port 80

Also, try removing nginx and just accessing the application via port 5000 (after opening it up in the firewall).
