Let's See The Standard Way To Deploy NodeJS

Project with Nginx

Firstly I assume you already connected to your Ubuntu server.

Now first command which you need to run is

~ sudo apt-get update

(This command will update all default packages of ubuntu server with latest versions)

Now let's install Nginx server

~ sudo apt install nginx

Now you have to install Node JS and NPM (Please read this article for it)

Now you can check with

~ nginx -v

~ node -v

~ npm -v

NodeJS - Education Funda

In each above commands version should be written if not it means it not installed properly in your server.

now go to cd /var/www directory

-> From here create directory sudo mkdir domain.xyz.

-> cd domain.xyz.

From here take clone from your GIT branch (Reference Link)

Now go to ~ cd yourCloneDirectory.

-> From this directory just run your project ~ node app.js/server.js (your root file of node js project)

Now just call your IP or Domain in your browser your project should run now.

For achieving it you can use PM2 package, which is project manager package to run services in background.

You can install it via:

~ sudo npm install pm2 -g

Now just run below command to run your project in background:

~ pm2 start app.js/server.js/index.js (your root file)

That's it !!
