How to install nodejs on VPS(VDS)?

Question

Node.js

Registered on a free VPS (VDS) server. With it, I can create a github repository container. Can I create such a repository with a node, connect (create a container) to my repository from a VPS (VDS) server and work with a node on my server?

Answer 1

To install Node.js, you need to follow the installation instructions from the site and you can connect and work. Containers are not really needed.
If you really want to tie everything on the docker, then you will have to cut, almost Continius Integration, with rebuilding the container image and restarting it after a new commit to the repository.
And most importantly, most free VPS on OpenVZ virtualization, and docker is not very friendly with it.

Answer 2

The simplest way

For native modules, you will also need
build-essential python and often openssl libssl-dev

Answer 3

in this case, we advise you to consider creating and working specifically in the context of working with a Docker container, in which you can customize the container to your needs and deploy the project on any servers - https://nodejs.org/en/docs/guides/nodejs- docker-webapp/ .
If necessary, you can use our ready-made solutions, including a server with pre-installed Docker - https://timeweb.com/en/solutions/os_po/

Answer 4

It is better to install dockers on a VPS with kvm, openvz is essentially a container too, without full virtualization.
> Can I create such a repository with a node
, yes, you can raise your github, but you will need a VPS with more serious resources.
