How to deploy react Remix framework to IIS on windows server 2022?

I developed an App on REMIX framework. But ı do not know how will i publish it on IIS server on Windows Server 2022.
Which opitons should selected for IIS.
npx create-remix#latest
? Where would you like to create your app? (./my-remix-app)
? Where do you want to deploy? Choose Remix if you're unsure, it's easy to change deployment targets. (Use arrow keys)
❯ Remix App Server
? TypeScript or JavaScript? (Use arrow keys)
❯ TypeScript
Remix requires Node.js when running on Windows. You should select Remix App Server.
There are plenty of articles online on how to set up a reverse proxy on IIS. You want to proxy to RAS running on localhost:3000 (by default).
https://www.google.com/search?q=iis+nodejs+reverse+proxy
The best way for the React Remix framework is to select Remix App Server, then run remix build to build the app for production, and run npm start to run the server. After performing the above operations, please treat it as a normal Node.js server, and follow the Conventional Way - deploying a node.js application on windows IIS using a reverse proxy.

How to deploy it to IIS
Thank you
You can follow the below steps to deploy the node js app in iis:
1)Install iisnode
https://github.com/Azure/iisnode
2)Download and install url rewrite extension
3)set the port number in your node app by using below code:
process.env.PORT
note: use the same port number in iis site bindings
4)add the site in iis and give your node js app folder path and set the site bindings
5)Add below code in web.config file:
<configuration>
<system. Webserver>
<handlers>
<add name=""iisnode"" path=""server.js"" verb=""*"" modules=""iisnode"" />
</handlers>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name=""rule1"">
<match url=""/*"" />
<action type=""Rewrite"" url=""server.js"" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system. Webserver>
</configuration>
Note: please give the iis_iusrs and iusr full control permission to the site root folder

host node js on windows server (iis)

I started learning server side coding a month ago, I build a nodejs project and webservices with get and post requests using 'express' framework and mssql.
My project file includes a 'main.js' file and a 'node_modules' folder.
I'm trying to host this project on IIS but have no idea or experience on how to do so.
Will i have to package my project in some way.
Can i host nodejs projects on IIS? If so, then what are the steps that I need to do so.
I have a windows server running IIS with mysql installed there.
Here is a step by step...
if you havent done so install node, iisnode and urlrewrite
add a website to iis
edit the hosts file
add your website url to host
check your new website modules to ensure iisnode is installed
If its there you're good
create the node app code JS file
Put this code in the file
var express = require("express");
var app = express();
app.get("/", function(req, res) {
res.send("Hello Worlxxxxd!");
});
// This is REQUIRED for IISNODE to work
app.listen(process.env.PORT, () => {
console.log("listening");
});
add a web.config file to the directory and put this code in it
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<handlers>
<add name="iisnode" path="node_app.js" verb="*" modules="iisnode" />
</handlers>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="nodejs">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions>
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="/node_app.js" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
<security>
<requestFiltering>
<hiddenSegments>
<add segment="node_modules" />
<add segment="iisnode" />
</hiddenSegments>
</requestFiltering>
</security>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
in a browser navigate to the new site and you should get this error because you haven't installed express package
open a command prompt and install express
refresh the web page and voila
I'm a little late to the party, so you've probably either solved this problem or gone a different route.
You can run node applications inside of IIS using iisnode.
I, personally, have had mixed success getting iisnode running, but it is definitely possible.
I'd recommend using the URL Rewriting (https://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite) and Application Request Routing (https://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/application-request-routing) IIS modules. Install these on your server hosting IIS.
In IIS create an application that points to the directory where your node application is running (although this path is not actually used!):
In this new application, create a Rewrite Rule using the Reverse Proxy template, and point to your locally served node js application:
And now, you can browse to your IIS hosted site, using the IIS application you had configured, and it will show your node.js hosted site:
One of the main benefits of this approach is that the SSL cert issued to IIS can be used with an "http" hosted node.js application.
I've got node.js running from the command line, but this could be done as a service if needed.

Sails.js iisnode configuration

I'm wondering if anyone could help with getting a sails JavaScript app running in IIS 7 on Windows.
https://github.com/tjanczuk/iisnode/issues/298 did not prove to be helpful for me.
I have gone through the iisnode setup and created this as my web.config file:
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<!-- Tell IIS to use the iisnode module to run your
application -->
<handlers>
<add name="iisnode" path="app.js" verb="*" modules="iisnode" />
</handlers>
<!-- Add iisnode with the #nodeProcessCommand line if
you see the error: Make sure the node.exe executable
is available at the location specified in the
system.webServer/iisnode/#nodeProcessCommandLine element
of web.config. -->
<iisnode
nodeProcessCommandLine="%ProgramFiles%\nodejs\node.exe"
/>
<!-- Since behind the covers, Sails.js is just an express app
rewrite all urls to processed by iisnode via app.js. This
will sort out things like the routing to your public
resources (images, js, styles) and all configured rest
endpoints. -->
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="root">
<match url=".*" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="app.js" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
Sails is installed and when I run the server from the terminal sails lift I can access the app at http://localhost:1337/, but when I attempt to access it through the IIS port8090 I receive a HTTP 500 with the message:
To run an app using node app.js, you usually need to have a version of sails installed in the same directory as your app.
To do that, run npm install sails
Alternatively, if you have sails installed globally (i.e. you did npm install -g sails), you can use sails lift.
When you run sails lift, your app will still use a local ./node_modules/sails dependency if it exists,
but if it doesn't, the app will run with the global sails instead!

Running Ghost on Windows Server 2012 in port 80

I'm hosting couple of websites out of my cloud server. And I wanted to use Ghost for the 'blog' subdomain for one of the website.
I've managed to install Ghost and the Development environment works fine in localhost. However, the Production environment which now runs at 2365 port opens perfectly fine at www.blog.foobar.com:2365
I need it to open at just the www.blog.foobar.com
I've tried setting the port to 80 in the config.js and I get the Error: listen EACCES Even the ARR in IIS doesnt work. Tried almost all the steps suggested in the google search results. Reverse proxy just redirects the sub-domain to index.js
Node.js v0.10.21 x64
Ghost 0.3.3
iisnode x64
Windows Server 2012
IIS 8
Firefox
I have the port set to 2365 in config.js as if I set it to 80, it wont start at all. My IIS site binding is at port 80.
Finally figured it out with the help at the ghost forums. Assuming you have iisnode already installed and an A record for your sub-domain at your domain registrar, proceed with:
Change the web.config to as it is at Configuration File
Change the config.js production section as below
host: '127.0.0.1',
port: process.env.PORT
Leave the bindings as it is in your sub-domain IIS site settings i.e 80
Change the ENV to production in the index.js file instead of development
Enjoy Blogging :)
Here is how I did it on Windows 7.
Part of instructions are here.
Others are found here.
Install software
1) Installed node-v0.10.26-x64
2) Installed iisnode-full-iis7-v0.2.2-x64
3) Ran setupsamples.bat inside C:\Program Files\iisnode
Setup Directory
4) Removed everything inside C:\Program Files\iisnode\www
5) Extracted ghost-0.7.1 inside C:\Program Files\iisnode\www
Install Node Modules
6) Ran Node.js command prompt as administrator
7) Typed c:
8) Typed cd C:\Program Files\iisnode\www
9) "npm install --production" | command to install npm
10) Sqlite3 didn't install so had to run "npm install https://github.com/mapbox/node-sqlite3/tarball/master" to install it
Configure
11) Had to install url rewrite
12) Altered C:\Program Files\iisnode\www\config.js under development
url: 'http://localhost/blog',
port: process.env.PORT
13) still on the node.js command prompt inside C:\Program Files\iisnode\www typed "node.exe index.js" to run it
14) Removed node from iis and added application blog and pointed it to my dir C:\Program Files\iisnode\www
15) Added the web.config inside C:\Program Files\iisnode\www
