Self-Host on a VPS

Choose your VPS provider

Common choices:

• DigitalOcean
• AWS EC2
• Hostinger
• Linode
• Vultr

Any Linux VPS that can run Docker or Node.js will work.

Option A: Docker (recommended)

1. Export your project using Export → Download Code (see Manage files and export), then upload it to the VPS.
2. Build the image:

docker build -t my-seamai-site .

1. Run the container:

docker run -p 3000:3000 my-seamai-site

Option B: Node + PM2

1. Install Node.js on the VPS.
2. Install dependencies and build:

npm install
npm run build

1. Run with PM2:

pm2 start npm --name my-seamai-site -- start

Add a reverse proxy (nginx)

Set up nginx to route traffic to your app:

• Listen on ports 80/443
• Proxy to localhost:3000
• Add SSL using Let's Encrypt

Secure with SSL

Use Let's Encrypt (via Certbot) to issue certificates and enable HTTPS. Most providers include guides for this setup.
