I was able to fix this issue my-self.

The main issue was the nodejs version I was using. When you switch to nodejs 7, things go much smoother.

Here are the steps I followed:

  1. Created a server instance in amazon web service using ubuntu-xenial-16.04-amd64-server image
  2. Did following on using putty terminal. (You need to create a key file and convert it using puttygen in order to connect)

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install build-essential redis-server mongodb nginx python
sudo apt-get install git
cd /opt
sudo git clone GitHub - openhab/openhab-cloud: Cloud companion for openHAB instances
cd openhab-cloud
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_7.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install nodejs
npm install
cp config-development.json config.json
sudo nano config.json

  1. My config.json file looks like this
{
    "system": {
      "host": "my.domain.com",
      "port": "80",
      "protocol": "http",
      "logging": "info",
      "subDomainCookies": false,
      "muteNotifications": false
    },
    "express":{
      "key" : "some express key"
    },
    "apn" : {
      "gateway": "gateway.push.apple.com",
      "cert": "certs/aps/aps_production_cert.pem",
      "key": "certs/aps/aps_production_key.pem",
      "passphrase": "passphrase"
    },
    "gcm" : {
      "jid": "something@gcm.googleapis.com",
      "password": "password"
    },
    "ifttt" : {
      "iftttChannelKey" : "key",
      "iftttTestToken" : "token"
    },
    "mail": {
      "host" : "smtp",
      "port" : 465,
      "user" : "foo@bar.com",
      "pass" : "password"
    },
    "mongodb": {
        "hosts": ["127.0.0.1"],
        "db": "openhab"
    },
    "redis": {
        "host": "127.0.0.1",
        "port": "6379"
    },
    "mailer": {
        "host" : "smtp",
        "port": 465,
        "secureConnection": true,
        "user": "foo@bar.com",
        "password": "password",
        "from": "openHAB Cloud <your@email.address>"
    },
    "legal": {
        "terms" : "",
        "policy": ""
    },
    "registration_enabled": true
}
  1. Then I did my ngnix server related setup as below

sudo cp /opt/openhab-cloud/etc/nginx_openhabcloud.conf /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default

This is how my ngnix setup looks like. Change MY_SERVER_NAME to your servers IP or domain name

server {
    listen 443 ssl default_server;
    ssl_certificate       /etc/letsencrypt/live/MY_SERVER_NAME/fullchain.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key   /etc/letsencrypt/live/MY_SERVER_NAME/privkey.pem;
    add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000";

charset utf-8;

access_log /var/log/nginx/openhab-cloud.org-access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/openhab-cloud.org-error.log;
client_max_body_size 300m;


location /css {
    alias  /opt/openhab-cloud/public/css;
    }
location /js {
    alias /opt/openhab-cloud/public/js;
    }
location /img {
    alias /opt/openhab-cloud/public/img;
    }
location /bootstrap {
    alias /opt/openhab-cloud/public/bootstrap;
    }
location /font-icons {
    alias /opt/openhab-cloud/public/font-icons;
    }
location /fonts {
    alias /opt/openhab-cloud/public/fonts;
    }
location /js-plugin {
    alias /opt/openhab-cloud/public/js-plugin;
    }
location /downloads {
    alias /opt/openhab-cloud/public/downloads;
    }
location / {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
    proxy_redirect off;
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr ;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for ;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
    }

    #error_page 404 /404.html;

    # redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html
    #
    error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
    location = /50x.html {
     root html;
    }
}

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name MY_SERVER_NAME;
    return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}
  1. Then I tested everything to make sure they works without errors:
    sudo node app.js
    sudo service ngnix restart

You should see openhab welcome page at your servers ip if all the above has been properly setup.

  1. Making everything run at boot

sudo npm install pm2 -g
sudo pm2 start /opt/opehab-cloud/app.js
sudo pm2 save

Thant was it! Enjoy!!!
