Now.sh is actually not supported

Using PM2 with Now.sh

This docs will guide you step by step through the PM2 integration with Now.sh.

Prepare your app

Set your ecosystem file

Generate an ecosystem.config.js template with:

pm2 init

Modify the ecosystem file to match your needs:

module.exports = {
  apps : [{
    name: "app",
    script: "./app.js",
    env: {
      NODE_ENV: "development",
    },
    env_production: {
      NODE_ENV: "production",
    }
  }]
}

Add PM2 as a module

Add pm2 as a dependency to your projet.

With npm:

npm install --save pm2

With yarn:

yarn add pm2

Set your package.json

In your package.json, modify your start script like the following:

{
  "scripts": {
    "start": "node ./node_modules/.bin/pm2-runtime start ecosystem.config.js --env production"  }

Deploy with Now.sh

You are ready

You can now deploy your application on Now.sh like you would have done for a regular node.js app.

Next Steps
