I'm trying to deploy a nodejs app on jelastic using pm2. Though I understand the classical use would be to have the app in ROOT folder, having ROOT folder containing package.json and ecosystem.config.js file.
Howerver the company I work with is used to have one GIT repo per project, with subdir /api for backend and /web for the frontend.
So my nodejs app is actually in ROOT/web/
Is there anyway to configure things so that it works? I tried changing node variables PROCESS_MANAGER_FILE and ROOT_DIR but it always somehow fail.
Thank you for your help

I'm trying to get my app and server hosted on Heroku to work when deployed, but it's not. Client and server seem appear to be running, but the api calls are returning 404s. I'm guessing the configs are messed up somewhere.
Here is my repo: https://github.com/kpermenter/test-deploy and my Heroku settings are attached.
Any insight would be much appreciated!
This is because you haven't made the client files available publicly, you can do this by using:
app.use(express.static('../client/build'));
in the server.js file
if this doesn't work you can try creating a 'public' folder inside the server folder then copy the contents of the build inside the server/public folder and then use app.use(express.static('/public'));
and just deploy the server folder itself
I am trying to deploy a React app in my Jelastic Node.js server but I am not being able to make it work.
I am using vite for building. To test the deployment, I am building my app on my local environment and deploying the build directory into the Node.js server which works fine sometimes but sometimes it too doesn't work and the site is unreachable. I don't know what causes this.
But I want to make this process automatic and set the root directory to dist directory which is default build directory for vite so that I could pull it from GitHub and run build command and deploy it automatically. I searched for changing the configurations in Jelastic Node.js but couldn't find any relating to this issue.
You can either a) add VCS project into any non ROOT context, and for ROOT create a symlink through WebSSH (but this can cause downtime during deployment) or b) add VCS project into any non ROOT context and add a deployment hook to which copy content from dist into ROOT (and in this case downtime is minimized).
I have created my project with Create React App and for a server using nodeJs but when deploying to production, the file index.html is missing in build folder. I've checked the public folder and the template of index.html is still there.
Refer to react-create-app documentation. Creating a production build
When running in development mode, create-react-app spins up a server that serves everything from the public folder.
Thus, in production, your express app also needs to serve everything from the public folder.
server.use(express.static("public"));
I am trying to deploy a Node app on an Azure App Service, using Github and Kudu, running on Windows. The deployment works and the app is started.
My codebase is organised as follows:
/config
/res
/src
package.json
and package.json contains node src/start.js.
The problem I am having is that it seems that on that deployment the root directory for the Node app is site/wwwroot/src and not (as on my local machine, or my previous deployment on AWS) site/wwwroot. This leads to my code not finding the files inside /config or /res since the paths used in the code presume that the root is top level, and not inside /src (e.g. ./res/myFile.jpg will try opening site/wwwroot/src/res/myFile.jpg and not site/wwwroot/res/myFile.jpg).
I have been looking around but can't find how to change this. Can anyone help me?
Thanks!
For those wondering: I didn't solve it but a workaround is to put your entrypoint js file in the root directory. So instead of having node src/index.js you use node index.js, while keeping all your other sources in /src.
I bought domain and cheapest hosting on GoDaddy, but have no idea how to upload my react app to cPanel.
Uploading simple index.html into public_html works, but I haven't yet found how to proceed with react app.
Here is the project that I want to upload.
In case what I am asking is not possible, I would appreciate any other recommendations on how to get my react app going on domain I just bought.
Thanks in advance!
According to your projects package.json file, the production build command is build:prod. So if you are using npm run: npm run build:prod or if using yarn yarn build:prod.
Then your webpack.config.js states that the output production javascript bundle.js file will be in public/dist/. So you need to upload the public folder AFTER running the command above to produce bundle.js. Make sure that you keep file and folder structure the same when uploading the contents public folder.
