React: How To Publish Page On Server Using React-starter-kit
So, I created a page using repo from: https://github.com/kriasoft/react-starter-kit
I have my own global ftp server. And now I would like to publish my project on server.
What is the best way to do it. Should I copy all files to ftp server and just exec command 'npm start'? Or maybe I should deploy it?
I'm new in web deployment and not sure how it works.
Thanks for any tips.
Answer
This is a big topic to cover, whatever your linux distribution is, you probably will always need 2 servers - a proxy server, and an app server.
I'd recommend you wrap your compiled sites with a simple Node.js server like Express or Hapi. Then configure nginx to properly route all the requests to the application. Checkout some detailed guides from DigitalOcean

Minor steps might be slightly different but you get the idea
