在没有节点的服务器上将node.js应用程序作为静态文件运行

Question

We want to put up a node application on a Linux CentOS 6 server where there is no possibility of installing Node.

So if I've understood correctly, the site can't be run with an Express server that serves the files if node isn't installed on the server. My question is, can I run the site if it is compiled and bundled into static files?

In app.js , there is a line where the express method "listen" opens a port for the site to run on. I have seen that there is a "static" alternative: express.static(root, [options])

Would it work putting up a node site and run it with that static option, without node being installed on the server?

Answer 1

I know this isn't exactly the answer you are looking for, but I would recommend that instead of trying to run node.js as an static file you Dockerize your Node.js application. You should be able to then run the Docker application on CentOS.
