How to run it in production mode on AWS

[ghost]

I've successfully got it running on an AWS machine, with vips and everything.

I did a npm i -g image-resizer

followed by a, mkdir resizer and image-resizer new into that directory.
Changing the variables in the .env file and then running gulp watch is working perfect.

But I wish to keep it running on production mode with pm2, but for some reason, when I set my machine's environment variable to NODE_ENV=production and then run node index.js from within that directory, there is no response. It just stays there and I'm getting no response on the expected PORT.

It should appear on port 3001 by default. So try hitting http://<PUBLIC_SERVER_IP>:3001

To change variables try
export VAR_NAME=VALUE

Yea, thanks.

Got it working.
Apparently my environment file wasn't being accepted. I then injected env variables from that env() function call directly. Worked perfectly then.

Thanks for a wonderful implementation.

EDIT: You can close this ticket now.

Instead of injecting the env(), you can change the 'watch' to 'default', so you can do "pm2 start -n image_server gulp" and it'll fetch the .env file and scaffold out the server for you
