Installed nginx proxy port app, connected the vpsXXX.opalstack.com domain name to it ...
ssh in and look around: apps/nginx_proxy (name for the app) directory

So --> no files, no config, and the web URL gives a "Good news"

Now, I'm going to guess that there is some documented, clearly explained page to explain how to use the Opal stack application to achieve what I need to accomplish.

Where is that?

I'm guessing ... the nginx proxy is not really an nginx proxy, but a "opalstack's forwarding of a port to do whatever you want"

So, I'll proceed as if I'm supposed to install nginx, or anything really, to listen on the port number in the dashboard.

If thats the paradigm, ok...

    joej an Nginx Proxy Port app is nothing more than a directory and a port assignment.

    You use it when you want to run a custom back end server, ie you manually install your app in the directory provided and configure it to run on the assigned port.

    When you add that app to a site, our front-end Nginx server will proxy requests to your application running on the back end.
