Virtual Machine

This guide outline the process of deploying to a virtual machine, e.g. AWS EC2 or DigitalOcean Droplets.

Here we start from Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.

Cloning SeaORM Pro​

Build Frontend​

$ cd sea-orm-pro-plus/pro_admin_frontend

# Build frontend

# Delete old frontend build
$ rm -rf ../assets/admin

# Copy new frontend build to backend server
$ cp -r dist ../assets/admin

Build Backend​

$ cd sea-orm-pro-plus

$ cargo build --release

Setup Reverse Proxy​

# Create a new Nginx site config
$ vim /etc/nginx/sites-available/sea-orm-pro-demo.sea-ql.org

Proxy all requests to the backend server.

/etc/nginx/sites-available/sea-orm-pro-demo.sea-ql.org
server {
    server_name sea-orm-pro-demo.sea-ql.org;

    location / {
        proxy_pass  http://127.0.0.1:8086;
    }
}
