# aws-ec2-instance 

# Node.js Deployment

> Steps to deploy a Node.js app to DigitalOcean using PM2, NGINX as a reverse proxy and an SSL from LetsEncrypt

> Remmeber to have a custom domain otherwise this won't work! also, 

at the time I am making this readme https://freedns.afraid.org/ (7 Aug 2024) gives free domain with a dns, I am not sure how much time it takes to setup tranfer the IP

## 1. Create Free AWS Account

Create free AWS Account at https://aws.amazon.com/ (reqires credit card)

## 2. Create and Lauch an EC2 instance and SSH into machine

I would be creating a t2.micro ubuntu machine for this demo. (as its free)

I am a Macbook M1 user so I will use SSH client, you can use Connection Intance if you are on windows

## 3. Install Node and NPM

```

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_18.x | sudo -E bash -

sudo apt install nodejs

node --version

```

## 4. Clone your project from Github

```

git clone https://github.com/piyushgargdev-01/short-url-nodejs

```

## 5. Install dependencies and test app

```

sudo npm i pm2 -g

pm2 start index

# Other pm2 commands

pm2 show app

pm2 status

pm2 restart app

pm2 stop app

pm2 logs (Show log stream)

pm2 flush (Clear logs)

# To make sure app starts when reboot

pm2 startup ubuntu

```

## 6. Setup Firewall

```

sudo ufw enable

sudo ufw status

sudo ufw allow ssh (Port 22)

sudo ufw allow http (Port 80)

sudo ufw allow https (Port 443)

```

## 7. Install NGINX and configure

```

sudo apt install nginx

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default

```

Add the following to the location part of the server block

```

    server_name yourdomain.com www.yourdomain.com;

    location / {

        proxy_pass http://localhost:8001; #whatever port your app runs on

        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;

    }

```

```

# Check NGINX config

sudo nginx -t

# Restart NGINX

sudo nginx -s reload

```

## 8. Add SSL with LetsEncrypt

```

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:certbot/certbot

sudo apt-get update
