What is correct way to run app in production?

[TheWotan]

I have an App made with sidebase template. I upload it on DigitalOcean App platform.
And to run it I need to:
add manually run command -> npm start
add manuall "start": "NODE_ENV=production node .output/server/index.mjs" to package.json

So my question is "Are I do everything correctly or do I miss something in the template?"

Hey @TheWotan 👋

Thanks for the question and thanks for using sidebase 🎊 🎊

Yes, you are doing everything correctly (: Alternatively, you could also do it in one step by adding NODE_ENV=production node .output/server/index.mjs into the run command field 🪨

I think this is something we could add to the Merino template (it's already there in the cheviot one). So I opened an issue for this: #98 It's an easy one, so you could even tackle it yourself if you wanted to! (:

Please mark this as resolved, if your question was answered 🎊
