Based on the codebase analysis, here's what needs to change for your Ubuntu deployment:
Required Changes
Create a systemd service file instead:
# /etc/systemd/system/carnews.service
[Unit]
Description=Car News API Server
After=network.target
[Service]
Type=simple
User=<your-ubuntu-user>
WorkingDirectory=/path/to/news-app
ExecStart=/usr/bin/node server.js
Restart=on-failure
EnvironmentFile=/path/to/news-app/.env
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
2. Rebuild native modules
The better-sqlite3 package requires recompilation on Ubuntu:
npm rebuild better-sqlite3
3. Nginx configuration for Ubuntu
You'll need to create an Nginx config (not included in this repo). Example:
location /carnews/ {
alias /path/to/news-app/dist/;
try_files $uri $uri/ /carnews/index.html;
}
location /carnews/api/ {
proxy_pass http://localhost:5555/api/;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
}
4. Update paths if directory structure differs
Current macOS path: /opt/homebrew/var/www/news-app
On Ubuntu you might use: /var/www/news-app or similar
No Changes Needed
- vite.config.js - base: '/carnews/' stays the same
- server.js - Port 5555 works as-is
- .env file - Copy it over
- All source code - Uses relative paths
Deployment Steps
1. Copy the codebase to Ubuntu
2. Run npm install and npm rebuild better-sqlite3
3. Run npm run build to generate fresh /dist files
4. Create the systemd service file
5. Configure Nginx with the proxy rules
6. Enable and start the service: sudo systemctl enable --now carnews
