Question

There many tools to deploy expressjs application, such as strongloop,pm2.

But they do not work well on windows.

But when i log off my computer and log in again. the service is disappear. So I install pm2-windows-service and install pm2 as a window service. It failed again.

Anyone have a good expressjs deployment plan？

Answer 1

You need to make a pm2 save when you started your app. PM2 need to know which apps were started and their state to restart them after a reboot, and thats the aim of the pm2 save command which will save the state of all apps in the pm2 directory.
