How do I deploy Express to DigitalOcean?

Deploying Express on DigitalOcean can be a breeze. After logging in, create a new Droplet and select Express as your application. Next, add the following lines to your application’s configuration file:

ports:

• “80:80”
• “443:443”

Next, set up a new secret key. This key will be used to encrypt all traffic between your Droplet and your server.

You can generate a new secret key by clicking on the “Create a new secret key” button on the DigitalOcean dashboard. Once you have generated your secret key, add it to your application’s configuration file:.

secret_key:

• “your_secret_key”

Next, add the following lines to your application’s application.js configuration file:

• var express = require ( ‘express’ );
• var app = express();
• app.use(express.static(__dirname + ‘/public’ ));
• app.cookie( ‘auth’ , {secret : ‘your_secret_key’ }));
• app.bodyParser.json());.
• app.urlencoded({ extended : true }));
• app.methodOverride());
• app.jsonParsers.array());

Next, create a routes.js file and add the following lines:

• var routes = require ( ‘./routes.js’ );
• var path = require ( ‘path’ );
• app.static(path.join( __dirname , ‘public’ )));.urlencoded());
• app.use(routes);
• app.listen( 3000 );
