nodejs

A minimal Node.js web application — a starter you can deploy to your own server in a couple of minutes with DollarDeploy.

It's a plain Express app: a home page, a 404 page, and static assets. Nothing to configure — it reads its port from process.env.PORT and starts with npm start, which is all any host needs.

Deploy on DollarDeploy

For a step-by-step guide, see How to Deploy a Node.js App on DollarDeploy, or:

1. Sign up free at dollardeploy.com — one app, one server, no card.
2. Connect a server you own (Hetzner, DigitalOcean, Vultr, or any box with SSH), or let DollarDeploy provision one.
3. Create a new app, point it at your fork of this repo, and pick the Node.js type.
4. Deploy. You get an HTTPS URL, logs, backups, and monitoring — on by default.

Your app runs as an isolated systemd service on your own server — no Docker, no lock-in, at a price you chose.

Run locally

npm install
npm start

Then open http://localhost:3000.
