Hello guys, i’m facing some problems during my deploy on digitalocean app platform.
i’ve created a react app wich contains a server folder, so i’ve configured the app like so:
- yarn build as a build command
- yarn pm2 serve build 8080 --spa (to serve the frontend)
- yarn pm2 start server/app.js --exp-backoff-restart-delay=100 (to start the BE)
env variables for url: REACT_APP_SERVER_BASE_URL is equal to ${APP_URL}
i can see clearly the frontend, but the app doesnt work, he can’t make api requests to the BE (i see raw html if i hit the login endpoint)
i’m not an expert but i really need your help

Hi there,
What you could do is to separate your frontend application and the Node.js backend application into different App components.
Here is a quick video that shows how you could do that:
Hope that this helps!
Best,
