Step-by-Step Guide to Start Node.js VPS

Starting a Node.js VPS involves a series of steps to set up the server, install Node.js, and deploy your application. Here’s a comprehensive guide:

1. Access your VPS

After selecting a plan, purchase the VPS. You'll receive login details, including the IP address, username, and password. Use these to access your VPS via SSH. Use SSH to connect to your VPS. Open a terminal on your local machine and enter. (Replace 'your_server_ip' with the IP address provided by your hosting provider)
ssh root@your_server_ip

2. Install Node.js

There are multiple ways to install Node.js. Here’s a method using Node Version Manager (NVM), which allows you to manage multiple Node.js versions easily.
Install NVM:
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.1/install.sh | bash
Load NVM:
source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh
Install Node.js using NVM:
nvm install node
Verify the installation:
node -v
npm -v

3. Configure the Firewall

To secure your server, configure the firewall to allow only necessary ports.
Allow SSH and HTTP/HTTPS traffic:
sudo ufw allow OpenSSH
sudo ufw allow 'Nginx Full'
sudo ufw enable

4. Set Up Your Node.js Application

Create a directory for your application:
mkdir ~/my-node-app
cd ~/my-node-app
Initialize a new Node.js project:
npm init -y
Create an app.js file:
nano app.js
Add a simple application code (Save and exit the editor):
const http = require('http');
const hostname = '0.0.0.0';
const port = 3000;

const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
  res.statusCode = 200;
  res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain');
  res.end('Hello World
');
});
server.listen(port, hostname, () => {
  console.log(`Server running at http://${hostname}:${port}/`);
});

5. Install PM2

PM2 is a process manager for Node.js applications that helps keep your app running.
Install PM2 globally:
npm install pm2@latest -g
Start your application with PM2:
pm2 start app.js
Set PM2 to start on boot:
pm2 startup
pm2 save

6. Set Up a Reverse Proxy with Nginx

To make your Node.js application accessible via a domain name, you need to set up a reverse proxy.
Install Nginx:
sudo apt install nginx
Configure Nginx:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
Replace the contents with (Save and exit the editor):
server {
    listen 80;
    server_name your_domain.com;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
        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;
    }
}
Test the Nginx configuration:
sudo nginx -t
Restart Nginx:
sudo systemctl restart nginx

7. Secure Your Application

For production environments, it’s crucial to secure your application with SSL/TLS.
Install Certbot:
sudo apt install certbot python3-certbot-nginx
Obtain an SSL certificate:
sudo certbot --nginx -d your_domain.com

8. Monitor and Maintain Your VPS

Regularly monitor your VPS to ensure it is running smoothly. Use tools like 'htop', 'netstat', and PM2 monitoring features to keep track of your server’s performance.
