WHERE DEPLOY MY APP?

In HestiaCP the user must be a enabled bash ssh, if set as none this is a cause to stuck. Upload your app with ssh on this path: /home/<user>/web/<domain>/nodeapp/. Here you can use files .env with Enviroment variables, .nvm or .node-version for specify NodeJS version.

In your package.json you can specify your index file with

    ...
    "main": "index.js",
    ...

In your index.js you need run the express server or http with this parameters:

    ...
    //PORT IS PARSET WITH ENV VARIABLE FOR PROPER RUN IF YOU DON'T SET YOUR APP IS CRASH OR NOT RUN!!
    app.listen(process.env.PORT); 
    ...

When your app is launched script create UNIX socket file in /home/<user>/web/<domain>/nodeapp/app.sock is set with 0777 permisses for allow access to NGINX.

Each launch will be copied two logs files <domain-name>-error.log and <domain-name>-out.log to the nodeapp folder.

BLANK PAGES "NODE DOWN"

When your app is down create simply html file in public folder /home/<user>/web/<domain>/public_app/index.html.
