Deploying an App

From Nest Guides

Steps to getting your app up and running

  • SSH in and copy your files over using the Quickstart guide.
  • Use the Systemd guide to create a service for your app. This way if Nest restarts, your app will come back online automatically. I would recommend creating a bash script that runs the command(s) necessary to start your app and then have the ExecStart field in your service point to that.
  • If you would like to setup a subdomain for your app, run the command nest subdomain add <name>. After that, go into the Caddyfile and add the line reverse_proxy :<port> underneath the line #Add your Caddy directives here! for your domain. Lastly, restart Caddy by running systemctl --user reload caddy. Please note this step only explains how to add a subdomain for your app and not a custom domain.
