# Deployment

# #1 - Configurate

Update the production settings with the IP and domain name where the project will be running.

Path — ./config/environments/production/server.json.

{
  "host": "domain.io", // IP or domain
  "port": 1337,
  "autoReload": {
    "enabled": false
  },
  "admin": {
    "path": "/dashboard" // We highly recommend to change the default `/admin` path for security reasons.
  }
}

⚠️ If you changed the path to access to the administration, the step #2 is required.

# #2 - Setup (optional)

Run this following command to install the dependencies and build the project with your custom configurations.

cd /path/to/the/project
npm run setup

# #3 - Launch the server

Run the server with the production settings.

NODE_ENV=production npm start

# Advanced configurations

If you want to host the administration on another server than the API, please take a look at this dedicated section.
