🚀 MyZubster Marketplace – Now Live on Localhost!

After extensive development, testing, and infrastructure configuration, the MyZubster Marketplace is now fully operational and accessible locally. This marks a major milestone in the evolution of the MyZubster ecosystem.
📡 What Is the MyZubster Marketplace?

The marketplace is the core component of the MyZubster ecosystem. It enables users to:

🛒 List and discover services – exchange skills and expertise between users

🔐 Make private payments – fully integrated with Monero (XMR)

👤 Manage profiles – user dashboard and admin panel

📊 Track orders – status monitoring, payment verification, and transaction history

🛠️ Full Tech Stack
Component Technology
Backend API Node.js + Express + MongoDB
Frontend React + TypeScript + Vite
NFT Support Rust + Tari (Monero sidechain)
Database MongoDB (local)
Web Server Nginx (serving the frontend)
Hosting VPS (Aruba) – also fully functional locally
✅ What Works Now

✅ Frontend dashboard – fully responsive UI

✅ REST API – all endpoints are live and tested

✅ Authentication – registration, login, and JWT-protected routes

✅ Order management – creation, listing, and status updates

✅ Health checks – service monitoring and status reporting

🔧 Key Fixes & Improvements (Recent Work)

Here’s a summary of the major changes we implemented to get the marketplace running:
Issue Solution
Nginx 404 errors Fixed by correcting root directory and adding server block for IP access
Backend connection refused Updated Nginx proxy_pass from port 3000 to 3002
Missing /api/users route Created new route and integrated it into server.js
MongoDB connection failure Added .env file with MONGODB_URI and restarted the server
Frontend not building Ran npm install and npm run build successfully
SSL certificate warnings Configured Nginx to serve HTTP for local IP testing
