Node.js Deployment Steps to deploy a Node.js app to DigitalOcean using PM2, NGINX as a reverse proxy and an SSL from LetsEncrypt
-
Sign up for Digital Ocean If you use the referal link below, you get $10 free (1 or 2 months) https://m.do.co/c/5424d440c63a
-
Create a droplet and log in via ssh I will be using the root user, but would suggest creating a new user
-
Install Node/NPM curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt install nodejs
node --version 4. Clone your project from Github There are a few ways to get your files on to the server, I would suggest using Git
git clone yourproject.git 5. Install dependencies and test app cd yourproject npm install npm start (or whatever your start command)
ctrl+C 6. Setup PM2 process manager to keep your app running sudo npm i pm2 -g pm2 start app (or whatever your file name)
pm2 show app pm2 status pm2 restart app pm2 stop app pm2 logs (Show log stream) pm2 flush (Clear logs)
pm2 startup ubuntu You should now be able to access your app using your IP and port. Now we want to setup a firewall blocking that port and setup NGINX as a reverse proxy so we can access it directly using port 80 (http) 7. Setup ufw firewall sudo ufw enable sudo ufw status sudo ufw allow ssh (Port 22) sudo ufw allow http (Port 80) sudo ufw allow https (Port 443) 8. Install NGINX and configure sudo apt install nginx
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default Add the following to the location part of the server block
server_name yourdomain.com www.yourdomain.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:5000; #whatever port your app runs on
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
}
sudo nginx -t
sudo service nginx restart You should now be able to visit your IP with no port (port 80) and see your app. Now let's add a domain 9. Add domain in Digital Ocean In Digital Ocean, go to networking and add a domain
Add an A record for @ and for www to your droplet
Register and/or setup domain from registrar
Choose "Custom nameservers" and add these 3
ns1.digitalocean.com ns2.digitalocean.com ns3.digitalocean.com It may take a bit to propogate
Add SSL with LetsEncrypt sudo add-apt-repository ppa:certbot/certbot sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install python-certbot-nginx sudo certbot --nginx -d yourdomain.com -d www.yourdomain.com
certbot renew --dry-run
