How do I deploy my MERN app?

1. In the panel, open My servers and click your server.
2. On the Overview tab, wait for the App row to say "MERN is ready". The page refreshes itself.
3. Open the link in the Site address row. If the sample page says MongoDB: OK, the app is reaching the database.

Folders

• /home/app/uygulama/sunucu: the Express app (server.js). The connection string is in the .env file next to it.
• /home/app/uygulama/istemci: the React source. Building it writes to the sunucu/public folder.

Changing the code

Connect over SSH and run:

su - app

cd ~/uygulama

After copying your code in, restart the app:

pm2 restart uygulama

The app should listen on port 3000.

MongoDB

MongoDB can only be reached from inside the server. The Login and Password rows in the panel are the admin account. To connect from your computer, use an SSH tunnel.

Your own domain

1. Point your domain's A record to your server's IP address.
2. As root, replace the old name everywhere: sed -i 's/OLD_NAME/yourdomain.com/g' /etc/caddy/Caddyfile. OLD_NAME is the part after https:// in the address shown in the panel.
3. Run systemctl reload caddy.

Caddy gets and renews the certificate by itself.

Only 80, 443 and 22 for SSH are open to the outside.

No server yet? Order a server with MERN installed: you choose the size and pay for what you choose.
