如何永远使用 npm serve 运行？

Question

My end goal is to automate my development using Shipit. I can drop the code on the server properly, but I cannot get the command NODE_ENV=production forever start -c 'npm run serve' to execute properly. When I tried running it locally on my server, this is the response I got (a help output). I need to run npm serve because it runs the following: "serve": "gulp build && npm-run-all --parallel gulp-watch jekyll-serve" . My project is a fork of Tabler .

root@server:/var/www/server# cd /var/www/server/current/front-end/ && NODE_ENV=production forever start -c 'npm run serve'
help:    usage: forever [action] [options] SCRIPT [script-options]

Answer 1

You can use another option if that forever doesn't work , for keeping your script file always running in background you can use the

PM2 npm

refer this https://www.npmjs.com/package/pm2

OR second option is that you can use the

tmux

you can use this and it allows you run the npm serve same as you run on local system providing you the link below

Answer 2

You need to specify the absolute path for the folder you want to serve, and also use which to get the command absolute path as well.

I use npx to run serve instead of having it installed, and it works like this:

forever start $(which npx) serve -l 80 -s /home/user/folder/build/
