Cant deploy correctly Vuejs app from git in Jelastic - node.js

Question

its the first time i use Jelastic and i need to deploy a vuejs app from git.
I've make a Nodejs env and deploy my vuejs app. Then, i run:
cd ROOT
npm install
npm run build
And i get an successfully message: Build complete. The dist directory is ready to be deployed.
So, what i usually do next in localhost is something like this:
cd dist
npm http-server
But in Jelastic i don't really know whats next after the build. I've try to go into http://node-env.route/dist but i get a 502 error page (The opened link forwards to the environment where the application server is down or is not picked up yet.)
Hope you can help me, thank you!

In order to run your application I suggest you to install pm2 on your server and run this command:
pm2 start npm --name "your-app-alias" -- start
After re-build you need to restart:
pm2 restart your-app-alias
Maybe after that you need a reverse proxy with NGINX to link your nodejs env to your localhost. Something like that:
server {
listen 80; # the port nginx is listening on
server_name YOUR-JELASTIC-ENV-URL; # setup your domain here
location / {
expires $expires;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_read_timeout 1m;
proxy_connect_timeout 1m;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3000; # set the adress of the Node.js instance here
}
}
