Node js application deployment in a remote server

Wappler General

Hi
I would like to deploy a node js application on a cloud server. I have just an ssh access to it. I created a folder where I placed all the files. I installed npm package and node js package. How can I point my web address to the server? Actually the web address serves a PHP application. Can someone explain me step by step commands to do that?
Thanks

Every server needs some tweaking for deplying applications.
For NodeJS we have only used cPanel, which takes care of most of the complexity.
I have no idea how to do it on a VPS.

You should share some more info about the server. Maybe @JonL can help.

Thanks for your reply Sid
The server is Ubuntu and the web server is Apache. I never used node is so I’m trying to read some documentation but it’s hard for me. Do you think I can install cpanel on a VPS server? My hosting is infomaniak.
Thanks

cPanel is a paid service from what I know. You can look at their website for details. They do have a free tier for non-profits, if you qualify: https://www.cpanel.net/company/giving-back/

You can take a look at this tutorial on setting up NodeJS: https://www.phusionpassenger.com/library/walkthroughs/deploy/nodejs/ownserver/nginx/oss/trusty/deploy_app.html
You might find many such tutorial on the internet. The deployment is not specific to Wappler. Its the same as it would work with any other programming environment.
