How to deploy pwa-studio on server in production mode?

Question

I have successfully installed PWA-studio with Magento 2.3. But I am not able to run it on production mode on a Ubuntu 18.04 LTS server so that we can access the PWA remotely but I am always able to start the application in development mode which only accessible locally.

How I can configure my server as well as the PWA-studio so that we can access the application remotely?

Answer 1

1. git clone https://github.com/magento-research/pwa-studio.git
2. cd pwa-studio
3. npm install
4. cp packages/venia-concept/.env.dist packages/venia-concept/.env
5. edit and change MAGENTO_BACKEND_URL in packages/venia-concept/.env
6. In pwa-studio folder run: npm run build && NODE_ENV=production PORT=8000 npm run stage:venia

It will start the server on port 8000.

I used PM2 to manage node services.

(cd packages/venia-concept/ && NODE_ENV=production PORT=8000 node server.js)

Then I made Nginx proxy to pass connection from 8000 to 80 and 443

Hope it helps.
