Use Nginx to publish Vue applications

This tutorial will guide you how to use Nginx to publish Vue applications. Nginx is a high-performance open source web server that can be used to deploy static web pages, reverse proxy and load balancing, etc. Vue is a popular JavaScript framework for building modern single-page applications.

Step 1: Install Nginx

First, you need to install Nginx. You can install Nginx on Ubuntu with the following command:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install nginx

After the installation is complete, you can check whether Nginx was successfully installed with the following command:

nginx -v

Step 2: Build the Vue application

Before getting started, make sure you have Vue CLI installed on your local environment. If it is not installed, install it with the following command:

npm install -g @vue/cli

Next, create a new Vue project using the Vue CLI:

vue create my-vue-app

Enter the project directory:

cd my-vue-app

Run the following command to build the Vue application:

npm run build

After the build is complete, you will distfind the generated static files in the directory.

Step 3: Configure Nginx

Next, we need to configure Nginx to serve the Vue application. Open the Nginx configuration file:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default

Inside serverthe block, add the following configuration:

server {
    
    
    listen 80;
    server_name your_domain.com;

    root /path/to/your/vue/app/dist;
    index index.html;

    location / {
    
    
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
    }
}

Make sure to your_domain.comreplace with your domain name and with /path/to/your/vue/app/distthe actual path of your Vue application.

After saving and closing the file, restart the Nginx service with the following command:

sudo systemctl restart nginx

Step 4: Access the Vue application

Now, you can access your Vue application by typing your domain name in the browser. Nginx will serve static files and redirect all requests index.htmlto make sure the Vue application can run properly.

Congratulations! You have successfully deployed your Vue application using Nginx.
