I need to deploy a Next.js app, but not on Vercel. What are the steps to deploying it?
I used to drag and drop the build folder from React to the server, but in Next.js I don't know which files I should deploy and how.
NB: I am using getServerSideProps so next export will not work.
A node environment where you can use next start is required. Therefore, you can use any platforms that offer servers, such as EC2, Digital Ocean, Linode, etc.
Because I need to deploy on a variety of servers and platforms, not all of which desire to have an additional node express server running, I have transitioned to Gatsby.js entirely. Same static page delivery as Next.js but no need for node or express on the server. Drag and drop the build folder into any server folder - just like React.

I have an Angular project with NodeJS backend. I am confused about how to deploy my project on a remote server? I decided to use webpack because of it's simplicity, so I ran the following command:
ng build --prod
And it made a folder called dist for me. I think I must copy the content of this folder into the public folder of my NodeJS backedn server, but I am not really sure if I do the right thing?
Should I change other configuration of my frontend or backend codes too? Or just copying dist folder into the server's public folder should solve everything?
You have a very good documentation guide by Angular: https://angular.io/guide/deployment
And yes, you should copy dist/yourproyect (Angular compiled to HTML+CSS+JavaScript+Assets) to any web server you want to deploy it.
For isolation purposes (and maybe configuration), I'd recommend to put front and back in different folders. But you can deploy it within NodeJS.
In short: A web server Apache/Nginx/IIS/GitHubPages/Firebase/etc for Angular and PM2 ( https://pm2.keymetrics.io/ ) to launch your NodeJS. But depending on your expected load, you may want to choose one server type or another.
Anyway, if you specifically want to serve Angular through NodeJS, I'd recommend this tutorial (2016, maybe bit outdated, but it will help): https://scotch.io/tutorials/mean-app-with-angular-2-and-the-angular-cli
I currently have access to an standard cPanel shared hosting, without SSH
I have an angular application running there https://www.rednots.com
However now I need the app to have server side rendering for Facebook share, I've been using Universal toolkit from https://github.com/maciejtreder/ng-toolkit and it works great in local
Now my issue is: can I deploy the Universal app the same way I've deployed the Angular client side app by uploading the dist folder? Do I need node.js installed in the server and run commands? Or is it any workaround so I don't need to use commands?
ng-toolkit is using lambda functions and api gateways to be used by the services.
Technically speaking you only need to deploy the dist folder and everything should work out of the box since you mentioned that you already tested it locally and it works which means that the lambda functions are already deployed and the services are pointing to AWS gateway properly.
Have a Node.Js API and a React app semi finished. Working on deploying to get the development cycle churning. Currently using npm start for viewing the react server during development. Same for the Node API. When deployed to AWS EC2 I am building in the most basic fashion, npm build pushing to a 'release' folder.
Once the deploy folder is up, I can go into it and run serve -s release
This gets me up and running. I can do the same for api server.
To get the apps running as a service, for the api, I can see how I can build a systemd process and run that with no issue.
For the react app, is there an easy way to run that server as a system... I'm new to this stack, so I might be confused. I have read in some places that once you've built your react app that you need to serve it out via apache or nginx? (e.g. in development it hosts itself, in production, you need to serve it) Is that sort of the general idea - build with local hosting, deploy with a production webhost?
Help appreciated. This is my last major issue before I can get Jenkins running a nice pipeline for deployment. Thanks!
Since you are already running a NodeJs server, It would be a good idea to host your ReactJs App in the NodeJs App itself.
You can pipline in the Jenkins to Build the ReactJs App first and the move it to static serving folder in the server and then you just need to deploy the NodeJs app in which ever environment that you want.
I develop an application in Angular 2, mongoose, gulp and node.
What hosting service could you use?
What are the steps to mount an application of this type on a hosting server?
Thank you very much!
I recommend using Webpack for handling hosting.
With Webpack it is easy to setup different environments (dev, prod) with many configuration options. It provides a development server and many options to prepare your app for hosting. It supports tree-shaking (dramatically reduces the size of your application) and manages all the loading of your assets.
Hosting depends on your country. You can theoretically use any provider. Angular2 apps do not require any special configuration / plugins / services.
The steps are quite easy: Build your app, configure Webpack according to the guide found in the link above or here(Very nice description of how to build your application for production in an efficient way), and then start the production build via npm as described.
After that you could just drag your application to your ftp server and link the index.html. That's it!
I am building some React apps and am starting to think about the process of hosting. I am currently with Media Temple, which is a Apache based hosting, and I am on their (gs) grid server plan, which from what I can tell doesn't support installing Node.
I just wondered, do React apps need Node on the server?
If they do, what could my alternatives hosting options be?
Many thanks :)
If you're doing universal rendering, you'll probably need a Node server to support this.
But if it's only a static one-page application, you could perfectly not install Node on your hosting environment.
Using webpack for example, you can create a single js bundle of your vendors and sources files, a css one, and an index.html, Leaving you with 3 static files.
No, react apps doesn't require node server
