Progress so far -

replicated trivial example from above,
stood up a t2.micro to host the example,
added letsencrypt cert,

waiting for DNS to propagate so we can test at https://ioos-pwa.limno.tech

https://ioos-pwa.limno.tech/ is now live - figured out that I needed to add reverse proxy to nginx to expose, and also had to pay attention to order of running http-server and restarting nginx.

Partial success on the phone end - I opened the link once in Chrome (on Android phone), waited ~10 minutes and reopened. As promised, Chrome asked me if I wanted to put the React app on my home screen. I think I replied "yes", but it didn't show. However, I do have the option when looking at the page in Chrome to run/open the React app.

I'll poke some more this PM.

Turns out the app was there on my Apps screen after all. Small nicety - the app updated automatically when a small text change was made on the server.
