如何将本地服务器转换为在线服务器 Node.js

Question

I've been developing this game for a school project. It is supposed to be online multiplayer, but this far i have online used it locally. I can figure out how to change my server code for it to be able to act as a "real" online server.

The server code:

// Dependencies
var express = require('express');
var http = require('http');
var path = require('path');
var socketIO = require('socket.io');

var app = express();
var server = http.Server(app);

app.set('port', 5000);
app.use('/static', express.static(__dirname + '/static'));

// Routing
app.get('/', function(request, response)
{
  response.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, 'index.html'));
});



// Starts the server.
server.listen(5000, function()
{
  console.log('Starting server on port 5000');
});


// Add the WebSocket handlers
io.on('connection', function(socket)
{
  console.log('New player arrived');
}); 

Would appreciate any help greatly.

Most of the shared servers run at port 8080

so you may change the port then upload it into the hosting, If you just need it to be live u can use https://heroku.com/ so u can deploy it there

also here's quick option

npm install -g localtunnel

lt --port 8000

You will receive a URL, for example, https://school.localtunnel.me , that you can share with anyone for as long as your local instance of lt remains active. Any requests will be routed to your local service at the specified port
