7 | ## Installation instructions
8 |
9 | ### 1. Launch amazon ubuntu server in aws + Attach Elastic IP to the new instance
10 |
11 | ### 2. ssh to ubuntu to install packages
12 |
13 | ```sh
14 | ssh -i ubuntu@ -v
15 | ```
16 |
17 | ### 3. Update and Upgrade linux machine and install node and nvm
18 |
19 | ```sh
20 | sudo apt update
21 | ```
22 |
23 | ```sh
24 | sudo apt upgrade
25 | ```
26 |
27 | ```sh
28 | sudo apt install -y git htop wget
29 | ```
30 |
31 | #### 3.1 install node
32 |
33 | To **install** or **update** nvm, you should run the [install script][2]. To do that, you may either download and run the script manually, or use the following cURL or Wget command:
34 | ```sh
35 | curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.1/install.sh | bash
36 | ```
37 | Or
38 | ```sh
39 | wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.1/install.sh | bash
40 | ```
41 |
42 | Running either of the above commands downloads a script and runs it. The script clones the nvm repository to `~/.nvm`, and attempts to add the source lines from the snippet below to the correct profile file (`~/.bash_profile`, `~/.zshrc`, `~/.profile`, or `~/.bashrc`).
43 |
44 | #### 3.2 Copy & Past (each line separately)
45 |
46 | ```sh
47 | export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
48 | [ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm
49 | [ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" # This loads nvm bash_completion
50 | ```
51 |
52 | #### 3.3 Verify that nvm has been installed
53 |
54 | ```sh
55 | nvm --version
56 | ```
57 |
58 | #### 3.4 Install node
59 |
60 | ```sh
61 | nvm install --lts # Latest stable node js server version
62 | ```
63 |
64 | #### 3.5 Check nodejs installed
65 | ```sh
66 | node --version
67 | ```
68 |
69 | #### 3.6 Check npm installed
70 | ```sh
71 | npm -v
72 | ```
73 |
74 | ### 4. Clone nodejs-ssl-server repository
75 |
76 | ```sh
77 | cd /home/ubuntu
78 | ```
79 |
80 | ```sh
81 | git clone https://github.com/saasscaleup/nodejs-ssl-server.git
82 | ```
83 |
84 | ### 5. Run node app.js (Make sure everything working)
85 |
86 | ```sh
87 | cd nodejs-ssl-server
88 | ```
89 |
90 | ```sh
91 | npm install
92 | ```
93 |
94 | ```sh
95 | node app.js
96 | ```
97 |
98 | ### 6. Install pm2
99 | ```sh
100 | npm install -g pm2 # may require sudo
101 | ```
102 |
103 | ### 7. Starting the app with pm2 (Run nodejs in background and when server restart)
104 | ```sh
105 | pm2 start app.js --name=nodejs-ssl-server
106 | ```
107 | ```sh
108 | pm2 save # saves the running processes
109 | # if not saved, pm2 will forget
110 | # the running apps on next boot
111 | ```
112 |
113 | #### 7.1 IMPORTANT: If you want pm2 to start on system boot
114 | ```sh
115 | pm2 startup # starts pm2 on computer boot
116 | ```
117 |
118 | ### 8. FREE SSL - Install Nginx web server
119 |
120 | ```sh
121 | sudo apt install nginx
122 | ```
123 |
124 | ```sh
125 | sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
126 | ```
127 |
128 | #### Add the following to the location part of the server block
129 |
130 | ```sh
131 | server_name yourdomain.com www.yourdomain.com;
132 |
133 | location / {
134 | proxy_pass http://localhost:5000; #whatever port your app runs on
135 | proxy_http_version 1.1;
136 | proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
137 | proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
138 | proxy_set_header Host $host;
139 | proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
140 | }
141 | ```
142 |
143 | ##### Check NGINX config
144 | ```sh
145 | sudo nginx -t
146 | ```
147 |
148 | ##### Restart NGINX
149 | ```sh
150 | sudo service nginx restart
151 | ```
152 |
153 | #### You should now be able to visit your IP with no port (port 80) and see your app. Now let's add a domain
154 |
155 | ### 9 Add domain in goDaddy.com
156 | If you have domain, you can add A record to your EC2 instance IP with a new subdomain as I'm going to show you next
157 |
158 | #### 9.1 Check that Port 80 redirect to Nodejs server
159 |
160 | ### 10 Installing Free SSL
161 |
162 | #### 10.1 Installing Certbot

183 | ```
184 |
185 | let edit this line:
186 | ```sh
187 | ...
188 | server_name example.com www.example.com;

192 | ```sh
193 | sudo nginx -t
194 | ```

203 | ```
204 |
205 | Output:
206 | ```
207 | IMPORTANT NOTES:
208 | Successfully received certificate.
209 | Certificate is saved at: /etc/letsencrypt/live/your_domain/fullchain.pem
210 | Key is saved at: /etc/letsencrypt/live/your_domain/privkey.pem
211 | This certificate expires on 2022-06-01.
212 | These files will be updated when the certificate renews.
213 | Certbot has set up a scheduled task to automatically renew this certificate in the background.

219 | ```
220 |
221 | #### 10.4 Verifying Certbot Auto-Renewal
222 | ```sh
223 | sudo systemctl status snap.certbot.renew.service
224 | ```
225 | Output:
226 | ```
227 | ○ snap.certbot.renew.service - Service for snap application certbot.renew
228 | Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/snap.certbot.renew.service; static)
229 | Active: inactive (dead)
230 | TriggeredBy: ● snap.certbot.renew.timer
231 | ```
232 |
233 | To test the renewal process, you can do a dry run with certbot:
