在我的在线服务器上部署我的Messenger ChatBot

Question

I'm working on a facebook messenger chatbot ( dialogFlow and nodejs and ngrok )

and every time i test the chatbot in my local server (pc or mac)

• run node index.js
• i run the ngrok proxy server
• copy the ngrok server url to facebook app

So now i want to deploy the chatbot on my online server ( linux ) ? Do you have any idea how to do it ? Thanks

Hi you could use services such as Heroku in order to do so. If you launch it on your own Linux server, you should have a URL pointing to it (ie: mylinuxserver.com) and as your nodeJS code is listening to a route it will work the same as ngrok :) (ie: mylinuxserver.com/bot)
