# Deploy with PM2 + NGINX
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
PM2 is a process manager for Node.JS applications with a built-in load balancer. NGINX is a popular web server and reverse proxy software. This tutorial will guide you on how to deploy MERNMail application with PM2 and NGINX on GNU/Linux systems.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## 1. Clone the Repository
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
First, change your working directory to your home directory, and clone the MERNMail repository:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
cd ~
|
||
|
|
git clone https://git.svrjs.org/mernmail/mernmail.git
|
||
|
|
cd mernmail
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## 2. Install Dependencies and Build the Application
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Navigate to the project directory, install the necessary dependencies, and build the MERNMail application:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
npm install
|
||
|
|
npm run build
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## 3. Configuration
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Copy the `.env.example` file to a `.env` file in the root directory of the project. The configuration options can be found in the [Configuration](/docs/configuration) page.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## 4. Install and Set Up PM2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Install and set up PM2:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
npm install -g pm2
|
||
|
|
pm2 start npm --name "MERNMail" --start
|
||
|
|
pm2 startup
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After running the `pm2 startup` command, run the command shown in the output to the terminal to start the PM2 daemon when the OS boots up.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## 5. Install and Set Up NGINX
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Install NGINX using `sudo apt install nginx` on Debian-based systems, `sudo pacman -S nginx` on Arch-based systems, or `sudo dnf install nginx` on Red Hat-based systems.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After installing NGINX, open your preferred text editor, and save these contents to the `/etc/nginx/sites-available/mernmail` file (replace `/home/user` with path to your home directory; also check the port the MERNMail application listens to; this configuration causes NGINX to only listen to port 80):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```nginx
|
||
|
|
server {
|
||
|
|
listen 80;
|
||
|
|
server_name _;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload";
|
||
|
|
add_header x-content-type-options "nosniff";
|
||
|
|
add_header Content-Security-Policy "default-src 'self'; script-src 'self' 'sha256-VA8O2hAdooB288EpSTrGLl7z3QikbWU9wwoebO/QaYk=' 'sha256-+5XkZFazzJo8n0iOP4ti/cLCMUudTf//Mzkb7xNPXIc=' 'sha256-MS6/3FCg4WjP9gwgaBGwLpRCY6fZBgwmhVCdrPrNf3E=' 'sha256-tQjf8gvb2ROOMapIxFvFAYBeUJ0v1HCbOcSmDNXGtDo='; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; frame-src 'self' data:";
|
||
|
|
add_header Referrer-Policy "strict-origin-when-cross-origin";
|
||
|
|
add_header Permissions-Policy "geolocation=(), camera=(), microphone=(), fullscreen=*";
|
||
|
|
add_header Feature-Policy "geolocation 'none', camera 'none', microphone 'none', fullscreen *";
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
location /api/ {
|
||
|
|
proxy_pass http://localhost:3000/api/;
|
||
|
|
proxy_http_version 1.1;
|
||
|
|
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
|
||
|
|
proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
|
||
|
|
proxy_set_header Host $host;
|
||
|
|
proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
location / {
|
||
|
|
root /home/user/mernmail/frontend/dist;
|
||
|
|
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After creating the NGINX configuration file, run these commands to enable the new NGINX configuration:
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
sudo rm /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*
|
||
|
|
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/mernmail /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/mernmail
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## 6. Restart NGINX
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Restart NGINX using either `sudo systemctl restart nginx` or `sudo /etc/init.d/nginx restart` command.
