Can a Spring project be run on a remote server?

Question

Java

I wrote the simplest application in spring. Which accepts a GET request and returns an HTML page. Everything works on localhost. localhost:8080/indexand it shows the index.html page
So the question is, is it possible to somehow run it on a remote server, so that I can, for example, get this page by url - address, well, like all ordinary web applications.
If possible, how? Can you give an example?

Answer 1

Hello!
In short, yes, you can))))
And if in detail, then read on:
1) the Spring application can be run on Tomcat, etc. Accordingly, you need a VPS, install tomcat. And then build the war project and upload it to the server.

2) you can deploy an application without third-party software (self-contained app)

If you use Intellij IDEA, then when you press RMB (provided that you have already configured the deployment parameters), you can immediately upload the project to the server from the program
