In /etc/nginx/site-enabled/ you need to put a config file that
unambiguosly tells nginx:
1. which DNS name(s) to serve from this config
2. what ports
3. what protocols
4. If using SSL/TLS, which certs and algorithms
5. If serving static content, where to begin
6. If serving dynamic content, where to get it
A program running on port 5000 is a fine place to serve dynamic
content from, but you haven't told nginx about it.
I'll bet you that this "kestrel" program comes with
documentation about using a reverse proxy, which is what you
want nginx to do.
