| 1 | +# VPS Setup Guide |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +## Prerequisites |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +- Ubuntu/Debian VPS |
| 6 | +- Domain DNS A records pointing to VPS IP |
| 7 | +- Hosting provider must allow your domain (e.g. register `rnstudio.hu` in their panel) |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +## 1. Install Git |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +```bash |
| 12 | +sudo apt-get update |
| 13 | +sudo apt-get install -y git |
| 14 | +git --version |
| 15 | +``` |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +## 2. Install Node.js 20 |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +```bash |
| 20 | +curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_20.x | sudo bash - |
| 21 | +sudo apt-get install -y nodejs |
| 22 | +node -v |
| 23 | +``` |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +## 3. Install Yarn |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +```bash |
| 28 | +corepack enable |
| 29 | +corepack prepare yarn@stable --activate |
| 30 | +yarn -v |
| 31 | +``` |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +## 4. Install PM2 |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +```bash |
| 36 | +npm install -g pm2 |
| 37 | +pm2 -v |
| 38 | +``` |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +## 5. Add Swap (needed for VPS with ≤1GB RAM) |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +```bash |
| 43 | +sudo fallocate -l 2G /swapfile |
| 44 | +sudo chmod 600 /swapfile |
| 45 | +sudo mkswap /swapfile |
| 46 | +sudo swapon /swapfile |
| 47 | +echo '/swapfile none swap sw 0 0' | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab |
| 48 | +free -h |
| 49 | +``` |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +## 6. Clone the Repo |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +```bash |
| 54 | +cd ~ |
| 55 | +git clone <your-repo-url> rnstudio.hu |
| 56 | +cd rnstudio.hu |
| 57 | +``` |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +## 7. Create Environment File |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +```bash |
| 62 | +cp .env.sample .env.local |
| 63 | +nano .env.local |
| 64 | +``` |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +Set these values: |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +``` |
| 69 | +G_USER=<your-github-username> |
| 70 | +G_TOKEN=<your-github-personal-access-token> |
| 71 | +``` |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +Save: `Ctrl+O`, `Enter`, `Ctrl+X` |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +## 8. Install Dependencies and Build |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +```bash |
| 78 | +yarn install |
| 79 | +yarn build |
| 80 | +``` |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +## 9. Start with PM2 |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +```bash |
| 85 | +pm2 start yarn --name "nextjs-app" -- start |
| 86 | +pm2 save |
| 87 | +pm2 startup |
| 88 | +``` |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +`pm2 startup` prints a `sudo` command — copy and run it so the app auto-starts after reboot. |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +Verify: `pm2 status` should show `nextjs-app` as `online`. |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +## 10. Install and Configure Nginx |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +```bash |
| 97 | +sudo apt-get install -y nginx |
| 98 | +sudo rm -f /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default |
| 99 | +``` |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +Create the site config: |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | +```bash |
| 104 | +sudo tee /etc/nginx/sites-available/rnstudio.hu > /dev/null << 'EOF' |
| 105 | +server { |
| 106 | + listen 80 default_server; |
| 107 | + listen [::]:80 default_server; |
| 108 | + server_name rnstudio.hu www.rnstudio.hu; |
| 109 | +
|
| 110 | + location / { |
| 111 | + proxy_pass http://localhost:3000; |
| 112 | + proxy_set_header Host $host; |
| 113 | + proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; |
| 114 | + proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; |
| 115 | + proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme; |
| 116 | + } |
| 117 | +} |
| 118 | +EOF |
| 119 | +``` |
| 120 | + |
| 121 | +Enable and restart: |
| 122 | + |
| 123 | +```bash |
| 124 | +sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/rnstudio.hu /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ |
| 125 | +sudo nginx -t |
| 126 | +sudo systemctl restart nginx |
| 127 | +``` |
| 128 | + |
| 129 | +## 11. Set Up SSL with Let's Encrypt |
| 130 | + |
| 131 | +```bash |
| 132 | +sudo apt-get install -y certbot python3-certbot-nginx |
| 133 | +sudo certbot --nginx -d rnstudio.hu -d www.rnstudio.hu |
| 134 | +sudo certbot renew --dry-run |
| 135 | +``` |
| 136 | + |
| 137 | +## 12. Add SSH Key for CI/CD |
| 138 | + |
| 139 | +```bash |
| 140 | +mkdir -p ~/.ssh |
| 141 | +chmod 700 ~/.ssh |
| 142 | +nano ~/.ssh/authorized_keys |
| 143 | +``` |
| 144 | + |
| 145 | +Paste the public key matching the `SSH_PRIVATE_KEY` GitHub secret, then save. |
| 146 | + |
| 147 | +```bash |
| 148 | +chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys |
| 149 | +``` |
| 150 | + |
| 151 | +## GitHub Secrets Required |
| 152 | + |
| 153 | +| Secret | Value | |
| 154 | +| ---------------- | ---------------------------------- | |
| 155 | +| `G_USER` | GitHub username | |
| 156 | +| `G_TOKEN` | GitHub personal access token | |
| 157 | +| `SSH_PRIVATE_KEY` | Private SSH key for VPS access | |
| 158 | +| `SSH_VPS_IP` | VPS IP address | |
| 159 | +| `SSH_USER` | SSH username on the VPS | |
| 160 | +| `ACTIONS_PAT` | PAT for auto version bump pushes | |
| 161 | + |
| 162 | +## Manual Deploy (without CI) |
| 163 | + |
| 164 | +```bash |
| 165 | +ssh user@your-vps |
| 166 | +cd rnstudio.hu |
| 167 | +git pull origin main |
| 168 | +yarn install |
| 169 | +yarn build |
| 170 | +pm2 restart nextjs-app |
| 171 | +``` |
| 172 | + |
| 173 | +## Automated Deploy |
| 174 | + |
| 175 | +Creating a GitHub Release triggers the deploy workflow, which SSHes into the VPS and runs pull/install/build/restart automatically. |
