Step to deploy

1. create your application

2. push your code on github

3. create aws instance and store pem file in compute ,it will use to login in aws server

4. In aws , you can go in security options and go in INBOUND rules and edit INBOUND rules and add port 3000 (it may be any port , your application is running) and add extra port like for ssh (22) ,for http(80) , for https (443).

5. login with credentials on aws server (ssh -i pemfile.pem ubuntu@23.35.6)

6. Install git and configure your application with (your email address and your name ). you can generate ssh key pairs that will paste inside github setting in SSH Settings option , for commiting your code on github.

   sudo apt update
   
   git --version
   
   git config --global user.name "Nishant K"
   
   git config --global user.email "youremail@gmail.com"
   
   ssh-keygen -t  rsa -b 4096 -C "youremail@gmail.com"  // Generate ssh key pairs and secure connection with remote server and github services
   
   eval  "$(ssh-agent -s)"  //Ensure the ssh agent is started
   
   ssh-add  ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub  // Add private key to the ssh agent
   
   cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub // Add to github for comment and push

7. Copy the generated ssh key file and paste it into in SSH Settings option in Github Settings.

8. Create folder in aws server and clone the code by ssh url of the repository.

9. Install NodeJS by nvm. After installing nodejs, go to root folder where you package.json file is located and then run npm install.

   curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.3/install.sh | bash
   
   
   export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
   [ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"  # This loads nvm
   [ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion"  # This loads nvm bash_completion
   
   
   nvm install node
   
   nvm alias default node
   
   pm2 start npm --name "my-app" -- start    // Start with pm2

10. Run your application npm start (with pm2 install) .

11. See the url of ipaddress of ec2 instance like `http://13.245.35.356:3000

12. Point your EC2 instance IP address to godaddy subdomain .

13. Implement Nginx and SSL certificates in your application.

    sudo apt-get install nginx
    
    sudo vi /etc/nginx/nginx.conf  //For creating file and updating
    
    sudo rm /etc/nginx/nginx.conf  // For removing
    
    sudo nginx -s reload  // Restart the nginx
    
    pm2 start "npm start"  // Restart your application
    

    • For SSL certificate (https://certbot.eff.org/)

    install snapd  // if aws is using , not necessary this command to run
    
    sudo snap install --classic certbot
    
    sudo ln -s /snap/bin/certbot /usr/bin/certbot
    
    sudo certbot --nginx // Must be ensure instance is running on port 443 and 80 i.e https and https
    

14. Implement CI CD pipeline with Github Actions

• Make .github/workflows folder and make deploy.yml file and just copy paste
• Make deploy.sh file for executing command line by line on server

15. Test your application with actual live url like https://deploy.example.com.
