BUILT AN ONLINE CODING PLATFORM FROM SCRATCH AND DOCKERISED THE APPLICATION AND FINALLY HOSTED IN EC2 SERVER

BELOW ARE THE STEPS:

HOSTING A MERN APPLICATION ON EC2 INSTANCE

STEPS:

1.Launch the instance..(in mycase I launched t2.micro)

2.ssh to the instance and clone the github repo using git clone

3.install the latest node package(in my case I installed nodev18.18.0 since my different packages in the application was not supporting lower packages)

  curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.1/install.sh
  curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.1/install.sh | bash
  source ~/.bashrc

  node -v

4.go inside the folder and enter the environment variables needed in the project along with other modules.

6.run the command inside the ec2

6.Hit the public IP in the ec2 server
