Nuxt.js: After build production use a tool like PM2 to start up the app

[mascardoso]

Hi there, so far I'm very happy with the results of Nuxt and Vue particularly, congratulations on the good work.

I do have a quick / newbie question about running a production folder (dist) generated with Nuxt with a tool like PM2.

Which file in the dist folder do I have to run to make sure the app is properly started up?

So for example when I build and isomorphic app with nodejs and express I was start with pm2 start server.js what would be the case on the nuxt folder?

Thank you

Hi thanks for the support,
npm run generate command is use to generate static hosted application.
I think your are asking for server render application in production, in this case it's not the same.
Server Rendered Deployment
How can I run nuxt with PM2?

you can demonize it using pm2 by typing
pm2 start node_modules\nuxt\bin\nuxt-start --name your-app
