How do I deploy my Node.js app?

Apps 108 views Markdown
  1. In the panel, open My servers and click your server.
  2. On the Overview tab, wait for the App row to say "Node.js is ready". The page refreshes itself.
  3. Open the link in the Site address row. The sample page shows the Node.js version.

Running your own app

Connect over SSH and switch to the app user:

su - app

cd ~/uygulama

Bring your code here, for example with git clone. You can delete the sample server.js. Install the dependencies and start your app:

npm install

pm2 delete uygulama

pm2 start server.js --name uygulama

pm2 save

Your app should listen on port 3000. Caddy forwards incoming HTTPS requests to that port.

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 Node.js installed: you choose the size and pay for what you choose.
