I'm looking for a way to download an entire website contents and store it locally in my server so I could serve it later to clients.
Something in the line of proxying just that I want the files to be served from my node server and not from the remote server. I've searched for modules that can help me achieve that but have failed to find one.Does anybody knows about such module or perhaps how to do it in a native way?

How can I protect my Node JS files to achieve similar behavior to a PHP file case? I would like to defend it to make it unable to download or display the inner content if anyone knows the URL of the file on the server.
Unless your Node.js server serves its own application directory as static files (or if there's a separate web server that expose them), the source code is not accessible.
Unlike with PHP, the JavaScript source code doesn't need to be anywhere near the hierarchy served by a web server.
This may sound silly, but I didnt find solution anywhere, I have a shared hosting( I have root access), I installed npm and running a node js application to serve a android app API requests, the file is located at www.mysite.com/path/server.js , now if anyone goes to this link they can read the node js file, it has passwords to my database etc, How do I prevent it from exposing to public?
I have started getting into angular2 recently and have previously used angularjs. This might seem like a very broad question but all of the tutorials show how to use angular2 on a local environment and show how to serve the app and navigate to localhost:3000 etc. So my question is how do I go about running my app on my hosted server. Like how do I get it to go to my app using www.mysite.com? Do I copy the files to my public_html directory or do I have do do something to make my domain go to the port the app is being served on? Or do I have to turn off apache and do something to use node instead? Any help would be apreciated.
is very simple:
Copy local files into remote folder
Execute ng build --prod
your domain root route should be myremoteFolder/dist
hope this help you
Angular is a frontend framework, which means it runs entirely in the browser. This means it's files are "static", they don't require a web server to dynamically process the way PHP files would. This means they can be hosted anywhere static files can be hosted such as AWS S3 or whatever directory you'd put your images and stylesheets on HostGator.
I'm assuming the localhost:3000 is a simple development server used for local testing. If it does more work than that, such as expose API endpoints that your Angular app calls to, then you'll need to find a host that can run NodeJS applications.
I installed node.js on linux server. I'm able to run node.js on command line, but not able to run on browser.
Did I clearly explained what I want?
I have a domain ram.com that point to particular location on my server /var/www/html/ram.com/.
I created node.js pages on this location /var/www/html/ram.com .How can I access this page on browser?
My apache running on 80 port. Can you explain any changes in apache configuration?
I'm new to node.js can you explain clearly.
To use Node.js to serve your website, you just need to type node yourFileName.js in command line to start the server.
I don't really know how your pages look like. You need *.js files as Node.js source files, and Node.js work as backend. If you mean *.html, you can access them when the server program is running.
Actually, Node.js has its own built-in web server, just like PHP + Apache. So you don't need to use Apache, and I don't think Node.js and apache can work together without other tools.
This is my first answer in Stack Overflow, hope that can help you.
I have successfully tested the vline-node example locally, but would like to push it out to a server. I have tried to install the example as an application on an IIS8 website, placing the example code under wwwroot. I have done tried this both within the root and inside a virtual directory, pointing to the views folder. I am able to login to the application from a browser on the server, although, since javascript is turned off on the server browsers for security, so functionality is missing.
However, when I try to access the site from a remote browser I am not able to login. Actually, I can see that there is something wrong with my paths, as the include files are not found.
The more I've thought about this the more confused I've become. I'd like to run this under IIS, but wonder if that makes sense. Can someone offer a clean solution for hosting the vline-node example on a Windows Server, ideally under IIS?
Since you are using the node example, you'll need to make sure that node is actually running on your IIS server. Here's a SO response that may be helpful: How to run Node.JS server for a web application?
Note that in our node example the "main" file is vline-node.js, so use that in place of the app.js that is mentioned.
