I have compiled my code using typescript and run it in my laptop using node server.
Now when i deploy it in windows IIS server in another machine, do i require node server that machine?
Node is just for development and not for hosting?
Can you clarify my doubts?
YES. you need node server in the other machine as well in the machine in which you are deploying the code
As far as I know, if you want to host node.js application, you should firstly install the node.exe and the a build of iisnode.
https://nodejs.org/en/#download
https://github.com/tjanczuk/iisnode
After installed the IIS nodes, you could set up samples, from the administrative command prompt call %programfiles%\iisnode\setupsamples.bat.
Then you could go to http://localhost/node to see the example.
More details, you could refer to below article:

what does these command means?
Secondly my nodejs RestAPI is working fine with local machine - but not working once i deploy it to server using nodejs cpanel.
Local postman
while in actual server getting "Cannot GET /apps/api/product/all" -- where my domainName/apps represents "Application URL" in the Cpanel.
little advice....push your project to git then pull it to your server. all dependencies on your machine will be ignored then in the server you can run install updated packages and compatible with your servers Operating system then start the server. fixes most of the version dependency problems you will keep facing. This is the ideal concept not a straight answer
I'm building a multiplayer game with node.js and socket.io and uploading it to itch.io. I can install node.js on my windows computer but how do I install it on the server that I'm using? Thanks!
The server that you would be using for deploying and running your app is just another machine(with OS) at a remote location- hence a remote server!
Now coming to your question- what you need to connect, install and run node.js on your server is a SSH client such as Putty (http://www.putty.org/).
You download and run putty on your windows machine and then enter your server's Hostname/IP-address. You will be able to see your server's terminal window once connected. Now you can go ahead and install node.js in it. Depending upon which operating system your server machine is running, you can install node.js accordingly.
Also, you probably want to transfer your project files that you created using node.js and Socket.io - for that you will need an FTP client such as FileZilla (https://filezilla-project.org/).
Once all that is done and your project is running- you can host it on your given website.
I am new to NodeJS. I have created a web application (it runs at https://localhost:4321) in a Windows server machine using npm, gulp etc. How do I host it in the server. That is I want to open the app in the browser without having to use nodejs through command prompt and using "gulp serve" etc.
If you want to host your node.js app locally on Iis server on Windows machine you should definitely take a look into this project.
I have a Windows 2012 server and hello world node js file (Only one js file along with Node_module folder).
Now I need to deploy it to the windows server and need to run it globally.
How to do that? Please help me!
I have read more article. But confused. I installed Node app on the server. I ran it locally. It is working. But How to do it globally. (www.xxxx.com/ABC)
You have two options:
iisnode. There are a few more configuration steps with this option, but there seems to be additional benefits.
allow port through Windows Firewall, the post is self explanatory.
iisnode

The problem
While searching for ways to deploy shiny apps I stumbled across ShinyProxy. From what I understand it's an alternative for ShinyServer. However, I lack some (very basic) knowledge to follow the guide provided.
The questions
Can ShinyProxy be installed just on any bought/rented server? Do I need to preinstall some other software?
Where do I type in the commands provided in the ShinyProxy guide?
Does Docker need to be installed on the server or is it a tool to deploy to the server and is thus installed locally?
The ShinyProxy guide misses a point about installing ShinyProxy. Why? Is it not installed (or is installation so obvious)?
I couldn't actually find instructions on how to run a shiny app with ShinyProxy.
The authors of ShinyProxy can probably provide a much better answer, but here is my understanding:
Your server needs to support Java 8 and Docker (or you can install Java 8 and Docker on your server).
Assuming you logon to your server via SSH, the commands will be typed in the SSH terminal.
Yes Docker needs to be installed on the server
It appears that ShinyProxy does not need to be installed. You just need to download it (the shinyproxy-0.5.0.jar file) to a location on the server, and then run java -jar shinyproxy-0.5.0.jar (in your SSH terminal)
To run a Shiny app, you need to package it as an R package first, then build a Docker image for the R package. The app is then actually running inside a Docker container. You also need a configuration file to tell ShinyProxy where to look for your Docker image. Example is here https://github.com/openanalytics/shinyproxy-demo
