Great video. I'm going to keep this series in my back pocket for when I really get into node.

Thanks for this, I use Heroku and been looking for a more reasonably prices nodejs host and this series helped.

Awesome time saver, thanks! Quick question though: Now that you're not using 'forever', will the node-app automatically restart on crash? I'm assuming that's what the respawn line does in your node-app.conf file and the operating system now takes on the role of forever ? Thanks again, your tutorials are fantastic.

Hi and thanks for awesome videos. Can you make one video about debugging or any other way that you use to find errors in code?

[GifCoDigital]

Hey Will, once you have a domain how do you point it to the specific port your Node server is running on? Do you still have to run Apache with virtual hosts? Or is there a standard way to do this???
After looking around I see some people simply having their Node server listen on port 80, is that a safe and standard way to do it? And how could you have multiple apps on the same server then?

Excelents videos thanks, ¿where is the github tutorial where you copy the codes from?

[shayaljindal]

Hi, can you please please guide on how to setup and deploy MEAN stack app on offline (no internet) RHEL server?

[maybebren]

Just curious, but if your server takes 10-15 seconds to restart (as any large app probably will), wouldn't it be really easy to ssh into the ip or the domain and kill your server for 10-15 seconds while it is restarting. How would we be able to protect such a thing while keeping the deploy account without a password?

"Vim is better..." hide from the fallout :) but seriously, super useful vids, thanks

[alex_ventura]

Hey thanks for such simple tutorial. How can I deploy it to port 80 as any normal app?

[zaidhaan]

it is possible to do all of this with pm2 instead of forever?

[damionjn]

Why not just `exec /usr/local/bin/forever bin/www` ?

[maximesahroui]

Thanks for this usefull serie,  but with forever I can see app logs... how can I do the same with this service solution ?

[JayDoge]

Using the 'start' command on the file name /etc/init/node-app.conf doesn't work on ubuntu server (as root of course). Any ideas ?

[rtorcato]

this video is old so now you would be better off using pm2 to run your node apps instead of forever. Turns out forever didn't last forever.
