It was very simple. My Public IP was run on https. When I manually changed it to HTTP I got my site working.

Are you using the default nginx configuration file (probably under (/etc/nginx/nginx.conf)? Is it possible that it says something like

... server { listen 80; server_name localhost; ...

...?
If yes, this could mean that nginx is binding only on localhost. This would explain why you can reach the page only from (precisely) localhost. Probably you should set it up to bind on public IP (or the server name or dns name or public ip, etc.) in order to reach it from outside.
But this is only my guess.
