Run Node Application on WIndows Server system (with local-network URL)
To run a Node.js application on a Windows Server system with a local-network URL, you can follow these general steps:
Install Node.js on the Windows Server system if it is not already installed. You can download the installer from the official Node.js website.
Copy your Node.js application files to the Windows Server system. You can do this by copying the files over the network, or by using a USB drive or other storage device.
Install any required dependencies for your Node.js application using
npm
by running the commandnpm install
in the directory where your application files are located.Run your Node.js application using the
node
command, specifying the name of the main script file for your application. For example:node app.js
By default, your Node.js application will listen on the localhost network interface. To make your application accessible from other computers on the local network, you can change the listening address to the IP address of the Windows Server system. For example:
arduinoapp.listen(3000, '192.168.1.100');
This will make your application accessible from other devices on the local network at the URL
http://192.168.1.100:3000
.If you want to run your Node.js application as a service, you can use a tool like
pm2
orforever
to manage your application process and ensure that it restarts automatically if it crashes or the system is rebooted.
That's it! With these steps, you should be able to run your Node.js application on a Windows Server system with a local-network URL.
