Work in progress, just experimenting, serves payload at localhost:3000/admin, remix on all other routes.
- suggest spinning up a free realm mongo host to use and create an .env file using below...
MONGODB_URL=
MONGODB_USER=
MONGODB_PASS=
user + pass must NOT be in the mongo url.
Start the Remix development asset server and the Express server by running:
npm run dev
This starts your app in development mode, which will purge the server require cache when Remix rebuilds assets so you don't need a process manager restarting the express server.
First, build your app for production:
npm run build
Then run the app in production mode:
npm start
Now you'll need to pick a host to deploy it to.
If you're familiar with deploying express applications you should be right at home just make sure to deploy the output of remix build
build/
public/build/
When you ran npx create-remix@latest
there were a few choices for hosting. You can run that again to create a new project, then copy over your app/
folder to the new project that's pre-configured for your target server.
cd ..
# create a new project, and pick a pre-configured host
npx create-remix@latest
cd my-new-remix-app
# remove the new project's app (not the old one!)
rm -rf app
# copy your app over
cp -R ../my-old-remix-app/app app
