How to deploy node api with ngnix on VPS

Deploying a Node.js application on a VPS with Nginx is essential for making your app accessible via a domain name. Begin by installing Node.js on your server. Create a new directory for your Express app, set up your package.json, and install necessary dependencies like Express and NodeMon. Create an ‘index.js’ file to serve as the entry point for your application. Test your setup by running ‘npm run dev’ to ensure the server is operational. To keep your app running in the background, install and use PM2, a process manager that ensures your app stays live and auto-restarts if it crashes. Next, configure Nginx as a reverse proxy by editing the Nginx configuration file. Set up the proxy to forward traffic from port 443 to your Node.js application, ensuring secure and efficient traffic management. Finally, test your configuration to confirm everything is working smoothly. This comprehensive guide simplifies the deployment process, making it straightforward to get your Node.js app live on a VPS with Nginx.

[@jerrybritto1813]

Thank you

[@devpiush]

we can do the same thing without the pm2 and the default nodejs api right. Instead in the real world scenario we can pull a docker image and run thaa container and reverse proxy into that. Am i right sir???

Thank you sir I have some doubts I'll ask here take your time to reply For example I have 2 application One runs on port 8000 and 8080. How can we set up reverse proxy? For both the application. Traffic only comes in port 80 https request that has to forward to 8000 and 8080? Thank you If anyone knows will be helpful
