Deployment to server

[Prashant-Mutnale]

How could i deploy it to surge or node server?Trying to deploy it in firebase but it didn't work out

@Prashant-Mutnale since this is a server-side rendered app you can host on any platform that supports node. I believe firebase and surge support static websites only so those tools will not work. If you are looking for a simple solution I recommend Heroku. I can add some documentation on deploying to Heroku. I will let you know when that is done.

[Prashant-Mutnale]

Thanks @maxparelius for the response, sure i will try to deploy it in Heroku.
It would be great if you could provide us with the documentation, i will wait for it

[maxparelius]

@Prashant-Mutnale I have a deployment documentation section here and has information about deploying to heroku: https://trustworktech.github.io/create-react-ssr-app/docs/deployment

[Prashant-Mutnale]

Thanks @maxparelius for the documentation I did deploy it to heroku but i'm facing some issue with the http i guess i have attached the image below

[maxparelius]

@Prashant-Mutnale unable to see the screen shot

[maxparelius]

@Prashant-Mutnale can I see what your Procfile looks like?

[Prashant-Mutnale]

@maxparelius i don't have any Procfile in my root directory.
Do i need to create it ?

i even tried to deploy the create-react-ssr-app without anychanges but still its showing the same error for it
I have attached the image

[maxparelius]

@Prashant-Mutnale I would create a file called Procfile in your root dir and add the following:

web: node build

You will also need to build the app during heroku deployments so would add an npm script like so to build the app: "heroku-postbuild": "yarn build"

[Prashant-Mutnale]

Thanks @maxparelius I followed the steps by adding Procfile and adding script to the package.json
The build successfully gets deployed but when i open the link in the browser i'm getting this page

So when i check it by running the heroku logs --tail it shows the error as Error: Cannot find module '/app/build'

my Procfile consists as
web: node build

and package.json as

@Prashant-Mutnale Sorry for the delay. I investigated and saw I had a bug in the package. Thanks for patience. Go ahead and update react-ssr-scripts with yarn add react-ssr-scripts to get the fix. You can remove the heroku-postbuild script which is not needed. Keep the Procfile how you have it and then try and deploy again.

[maxparelius]

I verified its working on my end.

[maxparelius]

@Prashant-Mutnale were you able to get it working? Can I close?

[Prashant-Mutnale]

Yes @maxparelius we can close it now its working fine.
