Deploy a Node.js app to Ubuntu Server

Learn how to deploy a Node.js app to a Vultr VPS on an Ubuntu 22.04 LTS server. This is a relatively low cost hosting option that's great for personal websites and small scale apps.
I want to credit HayleyCodes for the blog post illustrating this process.

This video came to me in the best time. In the last weekend I spent a long time trying to do it. I'll try again on the next weekend. Thanks

i think my problem is i have a server.js file running on the server that my game client connects to ( it is working completely fine) but i think when i go to the IP/DNS in a browser it is also loading the websocket port because i am getting Upgrade Required instead of getting my websites .html file my actual website doesnt even use websockets, its just the server.js file open that is recieving/sending info to game clients

[@geosystems2106]

Hi :) *_Why_* did you install certbot and python stuff ? That missing "1 minute explanation" is a shortcoming of an otherwise a very beneficial piece ;)

[@Ver2ion]
