How to Set up Nuxt Applications on Runcloud Nginx Servers (and Deploy Them with Envoyer)

1. When you create a New Web Application on your server it's very important to choose "Native NGINX + Custom config (For power user. Manual Nginx implementation)"
2. After creating a web application, you should go to "NGINX Config" and click "Add a New Config"
3. In the Predefined Config dropdown don't choose anything and choose "location.root" in the Type dropdown. In the Config content, you can paste:

   location / {
           expires 1m;
   
           proxy_redirect                      off;
           proxy_set_header Host               $host;
           proxy_set_header X-Real-IP          $remote_addr;
           proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For    $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
           proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto  $scheme;
           proxy_read_timeout          1m;
           proxy_connect_timeout       1m;
           proxy_pass                          http://127.0.0.1:3000; # set the address of the Node.js instance here
   }

4. That's for the NGINX part. If you have the ssh console open - go to the project folder, run npm run build and then npm run start as long as you have NUXT running on the 3000 port - this will already work. But obviously, we need it running in the background and update with every deployment. We use Envoyer for continuous deployment of the code, but the commands will be more or less regardless of what you use.
5.  First you need to install pm2 project manager with npm install -g pm2
6. Set up your deployment hooks smth like this:
7. The deployment hook for running the Nuxt will look like

cd {{ release }} && (pm2 delete -s npm || exit 0) && pm2 start npm -- start
