Nest Js (Node Js Framework) - How to start server on Digital Ocean using pm2?

Question

I have developed my project in the Nest JS framework. My main file in the src folder (src/main.ts). How can I start the server on my Digital Ocean server?

Answer 1

After you build the project, then it will have main.js file under /dist. So just run:

pm2 start PATH_TO_YOUR_PROJECT/dist/main.js --name=YOUR_APP_NAME
