🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Document the data-loss boundary of git clean -fd.
The command preserves .env because it is ignored, but it deletes every other untracked, non-ignored file under APP_DIR. Uploads or runtime-generated data in that directory can be deleted on each deploy. Move persistent data outside APP_DIR, change the cleanup behavior, and clarify that only the tracked checkout matches origin/main.

Pass the configured APP_NAME to PM2 when starting the application.
On an initial deployment, the ecosystem configuration can fall back to ts-ec2-app because APP_NAME is not exported, while later commands use the configured name. Export the variable or pass it inline for every PM2 start path.

nvm-sh nvm v0.40.1 install.sh checksum official release integrity verification
💡 Result:
The official nvm (Node Version Manager) project does not provide external checksums (like SHA-256 hashes) for its install.sh script on the releases page [1][2]. For installation, the project recommends using the provided curl or wget commands directly from the official repository [3][4][5]. Because the script is fetched over HTTPS directly from the official GitHub raw content URL, the integrity of the transmission is protected by GitHub's SSL/TLS certificate pinning [6]. If you require manual integrity verification of the install.sh script, you can perform the following steps: 1. Download the specific version of the script: curl -o install.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.1/install.sh 2. Manually generate the checksum of the file after downloading: sha256sum install.sh (or shasum -a 256 install.sh on macOS) 3. You can then compare this locally generated hash against the content of the script hosted in the official nvm-sh/nvm GitHub repository for version v0.40.1 [7]. The project does not publish these hashes in their release notes or as separate files [1][2]. If you are concerned about the security of the automated pipe-to-bash installation method, the recommended best practice is to download the script first, inspect its contents, and then execute it locally [6].

PM2 official documentation pm2 startup systemd generated command output exit status
💡 Result:
When you run the pm2 startup command, it does not itself configure the startup hook; instead, it detects your init system (such as systemd) and outputs a specific command that you must copy and execute with root privileges (typically using sudo) [1][2][3]. Upon executing this generated command, the system interacts with the init system to create and enable the necessary service unit file [3]. A successful execution is typically indicated by an output containing a success message such as "[PM2] [v] Command successfully executed" [3]. Regarding exit status: 1. Success: When the configuration completes successfully, the command returns an exit status of 0. 2. Failure: If the process fails (for example, due to permission issues, missing environment variables, or conflicts with an already running PM2 daemon), it will return a non-zero exit status, such as 1 [4][5][6]. Common error scenarios that lead to a non-zero exit status include: - Permission errors when not run with sufficient privileges (e.g., missing sudo) [1][4]. - Conflicts with a pre-existing PM2 daemon; it is often recommended to run pm2 kill before attempting the startup configuration if errors persist [4][6]. - Issues with the user or home path configuration specified in the command [5][6]. You can verify that the startup hook is correctly configured by checking the status of the service using the systemctl command provided in the output (e.g., systemctl status pm2-) or by listing enabled services [7][4][3].

Copy src/public into dist/public during npm run build.
tsc includes only src/**/*.ts, so it does not emit src/public/index.html. Since line 14 serves dist/public, a clean build returns 404 for /. Remove stale files from dist/public before copying.

In `@DevOps-Project-41/src/index.ts` at line 14, Update the npm build script to
remove any existing dist/public directory and copy src/public into dist/public
after TypeScript compilation, so the express.static path serves the frontend
assets on clean builds.

This PR adds a complete deployment workflow for TypeScript/Node.js applications running on AWS EC2 with Nginx, PM2, SSL, and GitHub Actions CI/CD.
What this adds
Complete EC2 setup guide for Ubuntu
Node.js installation using NVM
TypeScript build and production setup
PM2 process management with reboot persistence
Nginx reverse proxy configuration with multi-domain support
Free SSL certificates using Let's Encrypt and Certbot
Automatic deployment on every push to
mainManual deployment support through GitHub Actions
Deployment serialization to prevent concurrent deployments
Production deploy script separated from the GitHub Actions YAML
/healthendpoint verification after deploymentAutomatic rollback when a deployment fails its health check
npm ciandgit reset --hardfor reproducible deployments.envprotection by keeping environment files outside GitOptional server setup and Nginx configuration scripts
Why this is different
Instead of simply restarting PM2 after pulling new code, the deployment process builds the TypeScript application, reloads the process, verifies that the application is healthy, and automatically rolls back to the previous commit if the deployment fails.
The GitHub Actions SSH action is also pinned to a specific version rather than a floating branch, and deployments are serialized so multiple pushes cannot trigger competing deployments on the same server.
The goal is to provide a deployment setup that beginners can follow while still incorporating practices that are useful in a real production environment.
Result
After the initial server configuration, deploying a new version is as simple as:
GitHub Actions handles the deployment automatically, while the server remains protected against failed builds and unhealthy releases.
