First time attempting to set up a node server.
Following this tut. https://medium.com/@mosheezderman/how-to-set-up-ci-cd-pipeline-for-a-node-js-app-with-jenkins-c51581cc783c
So far, I have logged into my app server as root user using ssh root@<nodeserverip>. I went through the prompts of entering my UNIX pw and changing it.
I am stuck at the next prompt which says root@nodejs-app:~# I am not sure what to enter.
Thanks for your time :)

Hi there,
There are a few things that I could suggest here:
- You can start by following this tutorial here on how to set up a Droplet with Node.js ready for production:
- Alternatively, you can also take a look at this quick video on how to do that as well:
- An alternative option would be to use the App Platform rather than a Droplet so that you will not have to do the setup manually:

Hope that this helps!
Best,
Bobby
