How to Deploy a Node.js Application with PM2 on RHEL 9 — step-by-step RHEL 9 tutorial on Progressive Robot

How to Deploy a Node.js Application with PM2 on RHEL 9

PM2 is a production-grade process manager for Node.js applications. Running a Node.js app directly with node server.js has a critical limitation: if the process crashes, it stays down until someone manually restarts it. PM2 solves this and much more — it automatically restarts crashed processes, starts applications on system boot, enables zero-downtime reloads for application […]
