How do I configure pm2 to run hexo?

Question

I've used pm2 in the past for my express apps. I really like it. How do I get it to run hexo. Hexo starts with hexo server rather than with a js entry point.

Answer 1

If you're running Linux or OSX, you can start it with a bash script.

Create a file called hexo.sh with the following

#!/usr/bin/env bash
hexo server

Then just simply

pm2 start hexo.sh
