Deploying

Orionjs comes with a built-in CLI tool that helps you start your application in production mode.

​

Deployment Steps

The deployment process for an Orionjs application follows a standard Node.js deployment workflow:

1. Install dependencies

   Copy

   pnpm install
   

2. Start the server

   Copy

   pnpm orion prod
   

   This will start the Node.js server using the entry point at app/index.ts.

​

Environment Variables

Remember that you must set the environment variables needed to load the .env file before starting the server:

• ORION_ENV_SECRET_KEY: The secret key used to decrypt your environment variables
• ORION_ENV_FILE_PATH: Path to your encrypted environment file
