How to put an application written in nodejs on the server?

Question

JavaScript

Goodnight. Wrote a small application in nodejs. How now to put all this business on the server. Newbie in nodejs, current started

Answer 1

The entire civilized world uses Ansible for these purposes. You write an Ansible
playbook that goes to the server, checks the turnip, builds the project and restarts the service. I understand that the answer is very lengthy, but DevOPS is a very situational thing, it all depends on your application.

Answer 2

Well for the first time try something like:

ssh vash-vds-name
git clone vasha-repa
cd vasha-repa
npm install
node server.js

A lot depends on the application and the server. Looking at what opportunities and needs. Maybe docker, maybe some heroku you need, who knows.

Answer 3

Upload the application code to the server (using git or ftp). Then we launch the application through the process manager ( forever or pm2 ), which, in which case, will restart the program. It is possible and just through node, but it is fraught with unexpected falls of the application.
