Deploy a Node.js App on a Linux VPS: Complete Beginner's Guide

If you've built a Node.js application, the next challenge is deploying it on a Linux VPS securely and reliably. While platforms like Vercel and Render are great, deploying to your own VPS gives you full control over your server, performance, and hosting costs.

In this guide, you'll learn how to:

• Connect to your VPS using SSH

• Install Node.js on Ubuntu

• Clone your project from GitHub

• Install dependencies

• Run your application with PM2

• Configure Nginx as a reverse proxy

• Enable HTTPS using Let's Encrypt

• Keep your application running after server reboots

This tutorial is written for beginners and includes practical commands you can follow step by step.
