How to deploy a react app on Ubuntu 16.04 host

First we have to download puttygen and make publicKey and privateKey SSH to acces more secure to our server. Then save publicKey generated on .txt file and privateKey on .ppk file.

Connecting to host

(Previously on our host we've uploaded the public key) Now we will download putty-installer and configurate our profile.

  • Host Name (or IP address): Insert IP of the host.
  • Connection>Data In Auto-login username put the user name. (by default is root)
  • Connection>SSH>Auth Browse... our Private key file for authentication.
  • Session In Saved Session put the session name and click Save.

Now It's all ready to connect, click Open button

Configuring host

Firewall

This is a very important step we need to allow access to the service.

  • By default firewall is inactive, we can check it
sudo ufw status
sudo ufw app list

let's active and config firewall running this commands

sudo ufw allow 'Nginx Full'
sudo ufw allow 'OpenSSH'
sudo ufw enable

to see ufw documentation use. ufw COMMAND

Setup NodeJS

We are using Nodejs for backend and we will serve the static files of the react application build. So Nodejs is required We will use package management to install, here is command to install Node.js v9

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_9.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

After successfully installing Node.js, we can check the version using node -v

Visit NodeJS to see documentation.

Setup MongoDB

We can install mongoDB as a database following these commands:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 2930ADAE8CAF5059EE73BB4B58712A2291FA4AD5
echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu xenial/mongodb-org/3.6 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.6.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org
sudo service mongod start
  • Use sudo service mongod stop to stop MongoDB.
  • Use sudo service mongod restart to reload MongoDB.

Visit MongoDB to see documentation.

Install Nginx - Http Proxy Server

apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nginx
  • Use nginx -s stop to stop nginx.
  • Use nginx -s reload to reload nginx.

Visit Nginx to see documentation.

Deployment

We have to go from main directory of our server to /var/www using cd /var/www and create a new directory for our files mkdir mydomain.com. Now go there and:

git clone https://github.com/.. examplename
``````html
npm install

time to change nginx config file (default) going /etc/nginx/sites-enabled

rm default

let's stop nginx now: sudo nginx -s stop and create a new file:

vim mydomain.com.conf

There you have to copy this: (remember :wq)

server {
        listen 80;
        root /var/www/html;
        location / {


                proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3001;
                proxy_http_version 1.1;
                proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
                proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
        }

}

get back nginx sudo nginx.

The last step is start your application using node dist. That's it!

Persistent server

npm install -g pm2 run on root folder (mydomain.com) pm2 start build note that build is and optimized version of our application, to make it run npm run build
