Running react js on virtualmin server

Just make sure, you have node, npm andp m2 installed in the server as root administrator.

Now, you can run the rest as a virtualmin user in the virtualmin shell account.

1. npm install

2. npm run build

3. npm run dev

4. pm2 start npm -- run dev

Step-3 will let you know which port the npm is exposing its service. For my case it was using http://localhost:5173

Configuring on the virtualmin to redirect http and https services to the react site

In my case I wanted to send http (port 80) and https (port 443) both the traffic to back-end npm exposed 5173 port.

For https-

• Go to, Web Configuration > Configure SSL Website > Proxying
• Select Yes to Act as a Proxy Server
• Ports to which CONNECT is allowed, selct the radio button and in the text box inser 5173
• Save and Apply Configuration.

Done.

For http-

• Go to, Web Configuration >Edit Proxy Website
• Select Proxying Enabled
• Put http://localhost:5173 in the Proxy to URL
• Save and Apply Configuration.

Done.
