Managing a Node.js application is essential once you have it ready to be shown to the world. The app will need to be restarted to apply changes. You may also need to bring it back online in case the app stops for some reason. Luckily all of this can be done via the Node.js Selector in your FastComet cPanel.
To start managing your node.js app, first, you will need to access your cPanel and then look for the Setup Node.js app feature.
Then, choose the app which you want to manage and click on the appropriate quick access buttons (stop/start and restart). Choosing the edit option will get you in the app’s options when you will have access to the same stop/start and restart buttons.
Here, on top of being able to restart your app, for example, you also have the option to run the JavaScript code directly from the Selector.
In case you want to remove the app from the selector, click on the Destroy button.
Note that this will only remove the application from the selector, without actually deleting any of the data you have in the folder of the project.
