Getting 401 Error on my Remote Server but the same code is working fine on my Local Machine

Start with server.js at the webPush.sendNotification call and the web-push-lib.js:347 stack location; compare the remote and local runtime configuration, subscription data, and options. Review serviceworker.js and the client subscription flow to determine whether the remote request uses mismatched credentials or sender details. Done means reproducing the failure or identifying the configuration mismatch with a concrete correction.

Setup

Operating System:
Node Version: <12.20.0>
web-push Version: <3.4.5>

Please select any browsers that you are experiencing problems with:

• Chrome
• Firefox

Problem

I'm using Node.js and MongoDB.
I'm getting the following error when I use web-push on my DigitalOcean server:
When I send notification to a Firefox Client, I get the following error:

The important part is this:

Expected

When I tested my code on my local machine, it was working properly. But it doesn't work on my remote server.

Features Used

• VAPID Support
• Sending Notifications

Example / Reproduce Case

Here's the code that I used:

serviceworker.js:

self.addEventListener('push', function(event) {
const payload = event.data ? event.data.json() : 'no payload';
event.waitUntil(
self.registration.showNotification(payload.title, {
body: payload.body,
icon: payload.icon
})
)
});

server.js:

webPush.sendNotification({
endpoint: subscription.endpoint,
keys: {
auth: subscription.auth,
p256dh: subscription.p256dh
},
expirationTime: 12*60*60
}, payload, options)
.then(function() {
res.json({registered: true});
}).catch((err) => console.error(err));

index.html (client side script):

navigator.serviceWorker.ready
.then(function(registration) {
return registration.pushManager.getSubscription()
.then(async function(subscription) {
if (subscription) {
return subscription;
}
const response = await fetch('/api/notification/vapidPublicKey');
const vapidPublicKey = await response.text();
const convertedVapidKey = urlBase64ToUint8Array(vapidPublicKey);
return registration.pushManager.subscribe({
userVisibleOnly: true,
applicationServerKey: convertedVapidKey
});
});
}).then(function(subscription) {
fetch('/api/notification/register', {
method: 'post',
headers: {
'Content-type': 'application/json'
},
body: JSON.stringify({
subscription: subscription
}),
});
});
