To implement on server: first, environment variables would need to be set in a .env file.
|
|
|
|
|
A .env.example file is supplied. The values will be supplied privately.
|

To start the webpage: first, clone the repo.
|
|
|
|
|
second, change your current working directory to the root of the repo.
|
|
|
|
|
third, run npm install.
|
|
|
|
|
finally, run npm start.
|

Alternatively, perhaps ideally, a process manager which can restart the node server on server reboot or crash would be implemented to run the server.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
pm2 is a popular process manager for node.js applications.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To install pm2, run `npm install pm2 -g`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To start the server with pm2, run `pm2 start server.js`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To make the application run on server reboot, run `pm2 startup` and follow the instructions.
|
|
|
|
|

This will start the server on port specified in .env || 8080 by default.
