Deploy Your Laman.js App

Laman.js offers flexible deployment options to suit your needs. You can either deploy your app to LamanHub for a seamless experience or host it on your own server.

Deploy to LamanHub

Step 1: Register on LamanHub

Before deploying your application, you need to register an account on LamanHub. Visit the registration page:

https://app.lamanhub.site/auth/register

Fill out the registration form to create your account.

Step 2: Prepare Your Project

Ensure that your project is ready for deployment. Follow the production build steps:

npm run build

This will generate the necessary production files in the ./dist directory.

Step 3: Deploy to LamanHub

Once your build is ready, deploy to LamanHub with the following command:

npm run deploy

This command will automatically handle the deployment process and make your app live on LamanHub. LamanHub offers:

• Automatic Subdomain: Each project deployed on LamanHub will receive a unique subdomain.
• SSL Certificate: LamanHub includes SSL certification for secure HTTPS connections.
• Custom Domain: Option to configure a custom domain if needed.

Step 4: Verify Deployment

Once the deployment process is complete, visit the provided subdomain or your custom domain to ensure that your application is live and functioning as expected.

Deploy to Your Own Server

Step 1: Production Build

First, create optimized HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files of your website for production by running:

npm run build

The compiled output is written inside the ./dist directory.

Step 2: Starting the Production Server

After a successful build process, you may start the production server by running:

npm start

It is recommended to use a process manager like PM2 for better management.

• PM2: Runs your application in the background without blocking the current terminal session.
• Auto-Restart: Restarts the application if it crashes.
• Cluster Mode: Simplifies running your application in cluster mode.

Here is an example PM2 ecosystem file you can use:

module.exports = {
  apps: [
    {
      name: "lamanjs-app",
      script: "npm",
      args: "start",
      instances: "max",
      exec_mode: "cluster",
      autorestart: true,
    },
  ],
};

Start the PM2 process with:

pm2 start ecosystem.config.js

Your application will now be live on your server.
