As per my Title, I want to deploy Node.js & React.js projects in the same domain and server.
Basically, I want to host the application on cloudways server. https://www.cloudways.com/
I try to host there but due to the same domain action, it is not working as working in the local environment.
Front-end screenshot with package.json script structured(React.js): https://prnt.sc/xT4NAPxt0S99
Back-end screenshot(Node.js): https://prnt.sc/mSg_H4O6prF0
The given screenshot is from a local machine.
As you see here https://prnt.sc/xT4NAPxt0S99 we are using npm run build and after doing the build, we move that folder to the server folder and run npm i && nodemon index.js. It is working well in a single domain or IP in the local server well. But when I do the same process on a live server, it is not working.
Why I am using cloudways server?
For this, I don't need to install and set up MySQL, Node modules, PHP, and other things. Cloudways is doing all things when we create a cloud server.
npm i don't need to run this company on a server.
I am creating a Vue app with my roommate and we want to deploy it on our raspberry Pi.
Is there a possibility to npm build our final app on our PC and just start the server on the Pi without having to build the app on the Raspberry? And if so, how can we start the app on the Raspberry?
Thank you in advance!
Totally possible. Build your vue app on your PC (known as development environment) and host it on you raspberry pi (production environment). There multiple ways to do this, but from a high level perspective you just need to:
Set up you pi like normal by installing the preferred OS
SSH into the pi from your PC
Install a webserver. For Vue a quick fix could either be Nginx or Apache
You can install both Node and Git on the webserver through SSH. Then you can git clone the app right into the correct folder. Then with Node installed on the server you can run your npm commands like normal and build the Vue site on the server with npm run build. Otherwise you can just copy your build/dist folder to the server, but then you might need to do some extra configuration.
Get a domain name and point it to your raspberry pi's IP (https://www.noip.com/ is a good free choice I think)
A good list of tutorials to follow is:
How to set up SSH on a raspberri pi
How to set up Nginx or Apache on a raspberri pi
How to deploy a Vue app to a webserver (check both Nginx and Apache). There are some good videos on youtube to check out
Pointing a domain name to my raspberry pi website
NB: One last very important thing to remember is that if you're going to expose your webserver to the internet via your home network (using your own internet at home), you might expose your router to the world, which could enable malicious actors to get into your PC and any other device connected to your network. You might need to think about installing a firewall to prevent this. So maybe check out some research on that too.
Here are some useful links:

The result of a vanilla Vue build is a dist directory containing static files.
You can serve them over the network using a static file server: Nginx or Apache for example. The latter I believe is preinstalled in the Raspberry Pi OS and a lot of other distros.
You can also follow this guide as a starting point for Apache.
Also the Vue docs have a page dedicated to deployment.
I am getting the following error:
XMLHttpRequest cannot load file:///C:/Users/richa.agiwal/Desktop/get/rm_Library/templates/template_viewSettings.html. Cross origin requests are only supported for HTTP.
I realize that this question has been answered before, but I still have not found a solution to my problem. I tried running chrome.exe --allow-file-access-from-files from the command prompt, and moved the file to the local file system, but I still get the same error.
I appreciate any suggestions!
If you are doing something like writing HTML and Javascript in a code editor on your personal computer, and testing the output in your browser, you will probably get error messages about Cross Origin Requests. Your browser will render HTML and run Javascript, jQuery, angularJs in your browser without needing a server set up. But many web browsers are programed to watch for cross site attacks, and will block requests. You don't want just anyone being able to read your hard drive from your web browser. You can create a fully functioning web page using Notepad++ that will run Javascript, and frameworks like jQuery and angularJs; and test everything just by using the Notepad++ menu item, RUN, LAUNCH IN FIREFOX. That's a nice, easy way to start creating a web page, but when you start creating anything more than layout, css and simple page navigation, you need a local server set up on your machine.
Here are some options that I use.
Test your web page locally on Firefox, then deploy to your host.
or: Run a local server
Test on Firefox, Deploy to Host
Firefox currently allows Cross Origin Requests from files served from your hard drive
Your web hosting site will allow requests to files in folders as configured by the manifest file
Run a Local Server
Run a server on your computer, like Apache or Python
Python isn't a server, but it will run a simple server
Run a Local Server with Python
Get your IP address:
On Windows: Open up the 'Command Prompt'. All Programs, Accessories, Command Prompt
I always run the Command Prompt as Administrator. Right click the Command Prompt menu item and look for Run As Administrator
Type the command: ipconfig and hit Enter.
Look for: IPv4 Address . . . . . . . . 12.123.123.00
There are websites that will also display your IP address
If you don't have Python, download and install it.
Using the 'Command Prompt' you must go to the folder where the files are that you want to serve as a webpage.
If you need to get back to the C:\ Root directory - type cd/
type cd Drive:\Folder\Folder\etc to get to the folder where your .Html file is (or php, etc)
Check the path. type: path at the command prompt. You must see the path to the folder where python is located. For example, if python is in C:\Python27, then you must see that address in the paths that are listed.
If the path to the Python directory is not in the path, you must set the path. type: help path and hit Enter. You will see help for path.
Type something like: path c:\python27 %path%
%path% keeps all your current paths. You don't want to wipe out all your current paths, just add a new path.
Create the new path FROM the folder where you want to serve the files.
Start the Python Server: Type: python -m SimpleHTTPServer port Where 'port' is the number of the port you want, for example python -m SimpleHTTPServer 1337
If you leave the port empty, it defaults to port 8000
If the Python server starts successfully, you will see a msg.
Run You Web Application Locally
Open a browser
In the address line type: http://your IP address:port
http://xxx.xxx.x.x:1337 or http://xx.xxx.xxx.xx:8000 for the default
If the server is working, you will see a list of your files in the browser
Click the file you want to serve, and it should display.
More advanced solutions
Install a code editor, web server, and other services that are integrated.
You can install Apache, PHP, Python, SQL, Debuggers etc. all separately on your machine, and then spend lots of time trying to figure out how to make them all work together, or look for a solution that combines all those things.
I like using XAMPP with NetBeans IDE. You can also install WAMP which provides a User Interface for managing and integrating Apache and other services.
Simple Solution
If you are working with pure html/js/css files.
Install this small server(link) app in chrome. Open the app and point the file location to your project directory.
Goto the url shown in the app.
Edit: Smarter solution using Gulp
Step 1: To install Gulp. Run following command in your terminal.
npm install gulp-cli -g
npm install gulp -D
Step 2: Inside your project directory create a file named gulpfile.js. Copy the following content inside it.
var gulp = require('gulp');
var bs = require('browser-sync').create();
gulp.task('serve', [], () => {
bs.init({
server: {
baseDir: "./",
},
port: 5000,
reloadOnRestart: true,
browser: "google chrome"
});
gulp.watch('./**/*', ['', bs.reload]);
});
Step 3: Install browser sync gulp plugin. Inside the same directory where gulpfile.js is present, run the following command
npm install browser-sync gulp --save-dev
Step 4: Start the server. Inside the same directory where gulpfile.js is present, run the following command
gulp serve
To add to Alan Wells's elaborate answer here is a quick fix
Run a Local Server
you can serve any folder in your computer with Serve
First, navigate using the command line into the folder you'd like to serve.
Then
npx i -g serve
serve
or if you'd like to test Serve without downloading it
npx serve
and that's it! You can view your files at http://localhost:5000
If you are using vscode, you can easily start a liver server. Click liver server at the bottom of the page, once the server is started, vscode will tell the port the project is running. Do ensure your project folder is the workspace
This error is happening because you are just opening html documents directly from the browser. To fix this you will need to serve your code from a webserver and access it on localhost. If you have Apache setup, use it to serve your files. Some IDE's have built in web servers, like JetBrains IDE's, Eclipse...
If you have Node.Js setup then you can use http-server. Just run npm install http-server -g and you will be able to use it in terminal like http-server C:\location\to\app.

If you use the WebStorm Javascript IDE, you can just open your project from WebStorm in your browser. WebStorm will automatically start a server and you won't get any of these errors anymore, because you are now accessing the files with the allowed/supported protocols (HTTP).
I was facing this error while I deployed my Web API project locally and I was calling API project only with this URL given below:
localhost//myAPIProject
Since the error message says it is not http:// then I changed the URL and put a prefix http as given below and the error was gone.
http://localhost//myAPIProject
Depends on your needs, but there is also a quick way to temporarily check your (dummy) JSON by saving your JSON on http://myjson.com. Copy the api link and paste that into your javascript code. Viola! When you want to deploy the codes, you must not forget to change that url in your codes!
Learning nodejs and started to created my own restful API using restify.
I have created a very simple server.js file which contains basically a hello world type example starting up like:
server.post('/api/messages', servicemanager.verifyFramework(), servicemanager.listen());
server.get(/.*/, restify.serveStatic({
'directory': '.',
'default': 'index.html'
}));
server.listen(process.env.port || 3978, function () {
console.log('%s listening to %s', server.name, server.url);
});
which works fine locally. I cant hit http://localhost:3978 and I can test my API calls just fine calling http://localhost:3978/api/messages.
I have deployed my code into bitbucket and now I want to host these APIs in Azure using App Services.
My project structure is like so:
/topfolder
-/myproject
-/node_modules
-/node_modules...
server.js
package.json
index.html
When I setup the new app service in Azure, I can see that the deployment receives the code from BB, but the service never responds to my requests.
I have setup the home path of the app to live in: /site/wwwroot/topfolder/myproject and I can see the index.html when I navigate to http://myproject.azurewebsites.net so thats good.
I actually get a 404 error:
The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.
There are heaps of examples of how to setup continuous deployment using bitbucket and for the most part, they all seem to work, but my server.js file doesnt seem to be the getting called or starting up.
How can I debug whats going on here?
Is the packages.json file used in this scenario by Azure?
Thanks.
As the root directory path of the application hosted on Azure App Services, is D:\home\site\wwwroot. And about the nodejs application, the Azure fabric will find the entrance script in root directory like server.js. And the requests are handled via web.config in root directory. If there is missing server.js or web,config file, you will occur 404 error.
You can try to modify or your application's structure, like to:
-/node_modules
-/node_modules...
server.js
package.json
index.html
Then, you deploy your application to Azure via GIT or from BB, the Azure deployment task will run command npm install and generate the web.config wile in the root directory.
Any further concern, please feel free to let me know.
I inherited a project where the person wrote tools to test our site's UI using JQuery and JS.
I don't know too much about it other than it requires a browser to be spawned and I think the tool uses JS to interact with iframes to see if it's the expected values.
My job is to get this tool to run on a remote server and post the results to Jenkins.
The remote test server and staging server is linux. From our staging server, I want to write a script to spawn a browser and run cmds from the tool to test our UI. I ran the following manually:
ssh -X user#remote_test_server /usr/bin/firefox
However, the remote server says:
Error: no display specified
Is there a way to spawn a browser for automated testing from one headless server to another? Thanks in advance for your help.
I faced a similar problem when I tried to automate a GUI installation program. While there are quite some different possibilities to choose from (e.g. Xnest, Xephyr?), I ended up using vncserver, because it's relatively easy to debug the GUI session this way.
You need to create a vncpassword file, I think:
mkdir -p $HOME/.vnc
chmod 0700 $HOME/.vnc
echo MyLittlePassword | vncpasswd -f > $HOME/.vnc/passwd
chmod 0600 $HOME/.vnc/passwd
Starting the server is then quite straightforward
vncserver
export DISPLAY=:1
/usr/bin/firefox&
...
Now it is possible to connect to the VNC server with a VNC viewer of your choice. But beware there may be no window manager, depending on the X startup scripts of your environment.
Shutting the server down
vncserver -kill :1
In the configuration of Jenkins project , specify the
Build Environment
Start Xvfb before the build, and shut it down after.
