VPS (Virtual Private Server)
Prioritize initiating a connection to your server using SSH or via your chosen cloud provider's preferred method. This initial step is essential to start following this entire tutorial.
If you are using windows I recommend git-scm, otherwise if you are using Linux or Mac you already have git by default.
ssh root@XX.XX.XX.XXX -pXX
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
Pre-requirements
First you must download the NodeJS installation depending on your operating system but this guide focuses on Ubuntu 22. It is important to run the following commands in order for the changes to take effect
Install NVM (Node Version Manager)
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.7/install.sh | bash
Set NVM environment variables
export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion"
Install Node.js version 20
nvm install 20
Now you have node installed on your server ready to use, the following steps will be performed inside the directory of your project you are working on.
We will proceed to install pnpm the node package manager that we use and we will also install pm2 that daemon which helps us to keep node applications running in the background.
Install pnpm and pm2
npm i pnpm@latest pm2 --global
Now we proceed to clone the builderbot-examples project and install the dependencies necessary for its operation.
Remember to release the corresponding ports in your server's firewall. Example 3008
Install
Clone Project
git clone https://github.com/codigoencasa/builderbot-examples-bot.git
cd builderbot-examples-bot
Install
pnpm install
Como es un proyecto en TypeScript necesitamos hacer el paso previo de la compilaciones y posteriormente iniciamos nuestro proyecto con pm2 ademas si quieres ver los logs puedes usar el comando pm2 logs
Build
pnpm run build
pm2 start ./dist/app.js --name bot
pm2 logs
Terminal
