After wondering about the same thing for weeks, I think I got my answer. See if this can help you. Short answer This video [this video] was my answer.

I created a ReactJS application using create-react-app, and worked on development. Now I am trying to deploy to a server on DigitalOcean, following a video tutorial [this video] . During the video, he used a ready made example application. The only difference he did was to use pm2 start app.js instead of npm start Doing the same, pm2 showed the file is running, but when accessing the url, not working. How do I do this step? I tried running npm build and tried the same steps with no success. Edit: npm run build Please note that I am a beginner, and this is my first time trying to go to production.
