Nuxt JS reverse proxy load balancer on Laravel Forge

To set up a reverse proxy load balancer using Nuxt.js on Laravel Forge, you'll need to follow these steps:

Create a new Laravel project on Laravel Forge:
- Sign in to your Laravel Forge account.
- Click on the "Create a New Site" button.
- Fill in the required information such as the site name, domain, and database details.
- Choose a server location and size.
- Click on the "Create Site" button.
Install Laravel and Nuxt.js on your new server:
- SSH into your server using your preferred terminal or command prompt.
- Run the following command to install Laravel: ssh your_server "sudo apt-get install -y apache2 php php-mbstring php-xml php-zip unzip git".
- Run the following command to install Composer: ssh your_server "curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | sudo php -- --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer".
- Clone your Laravel project repository and navigate to the project directory: git clone your_repository_url && cd your_project_name.
- Install Laravel using Composer: ssh your_server "composer install".
- Install Nuxt.js using npm: ssh your_server "npm install --save nuxt express".

Configure Laravel and Nuxt.js:

Create a new Nuxt.js application in the resources/js directory: ssh your_server "cd resources/js && nuxt init".
Update the .env file in the root directory of your Laravel project with your database and application keys.
Update the web.php file in the routes directory of your Laravel project to serve the Nuxt.js application:

Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('welcome');
});

Route::get('/{*any}', function () {
    return view('welcome');
});

Route::get('/api/{any}', function () {
    return response()->file(base_path('resources/js/nuxt/server.js'));
});

Update the server.php file in the root directory of your Laravel project to start Nuxt.js:

    $this->get('/')
