How to quickly deploy Svelte on VPS?

@kadin 

To quickly deploy a Svelte application on a VPS (Virtual Private Server), you can follow these steps:

1. Set up your VPS: Choose a VPS provider, create an account, and provision a new VPS instance. Make sure to select an operating system that supports running Node.js applications, such as Ubuntu.
2. Connect to your VPS: Use SSH to connect to your VPS. You can typically do this by opening a terminal and running the following command, replacing "your-username" and "your-vps-ip-address" with the appropriate values:

1

ssh your-username@your-vps-ip-address

1. Install Node.js and NPM: Update the package lists for upgrades and install Node.js and NPM using the package manager that comes with your chosen operating system. For example, if you're using Ubuntu, you can run the following commands to install Node.js and NPM:

1
2
3

sudo apt update
sudo apt install nodejs
sudo apt install npm

1. Clone or transfer your Svelte project: You can clone your Svelte project repository from a source code repository like GitHub, or transfer the project files directly to your VPS using a tool like SCP (Secure Copy).
2. Install project dependencies: Navigate to the project directory on your VPS using the terminal and run the following command to install the project dependencies specified in the package.json file:

1

npm install

1. Build the Svelte project: Build your Svelte project by running the build command defined in the scripts section of the package.json file. This command typically invokes a bundler like Rollup or webpack to compile and bundle your Svelte project files into static assets that can be served by a web server:

1

npm run build

1. Serve the Svelte application: Use a web server like Nginx or Node.js (with a module like Express) to serve the static assets generated in the previous step. Install and configure the web server as per your preference, and set it up to serve the bundled Svelte application from a specific port or domain.
2. Start the web server: Depending on the web server you chose, start it using the appropriate command. For example, if you're using Nginx, you can start it by running the following command:

1

sudo service nginx start

1. Access the deployed Svelte application: Once the web server is running, open a web browser and enter the IP address or domain name of your VPS to access the deployed Svelte application.

Remember to consider security measures like firewall configuration, SSL/TLS certificates, and other best practices when deploying your application on a VPS.
