i can never thank you enough man

[@LSAPilot]

Amazing Tutorial, helped me so much! One more question: When trying to deploy new code, is it enough to just pull them into my projectdirectory? Or do I have to stop the Server beforehand and restart it afterwards? If so how do I end the service when running in pm2? Kind regards :)

[@hayk.simonyan]

You have to stop and restart the server, and you can use the pm2 stop command - pm2 stop your_app_name. After that, you can pull your changes and then restart the server with the same pm2 command that is shown in the video. Here are some useful commands that you can use pm2.keymetrics.io/docs/usage/process-management/

This was a great tutorial. Could you add the deployment of front end too in the same droplet? How do we configure ngnix when both backend and front end are running on the same server?

[@hayk.simonyan]

You can deploy both on the same droplet by configuring Nginx to serve your frontend from the root and proxy /api requests to your backend. This way Nginx will handle both frontend and backend on the same server.

[@mojammelhossain2082]

it would be better if you could add the mongodb coonfiguration as well.. that would be a allout tuts

[@hayk.simonyan]

I'm not using mongodb in this example deployment, but I'll share that in the future as well once I have to make a deployment using mongodb

[@hayk.simonyan]

but you can use mongodb atlas in combination with digital ocean and that is pretty easy to configure by following mongodb atlas guide
