Answer 1

I'd suggest the usage of PM2

This is the best option to run on a production server.

What are the advantages of running your application this way?

• It's easy to setup and run.
• PM2 will automatically restart your application if it crashes.
• PM2 will keep a log of your unhandled exceptions - in this case, in a file at /home/safeuser/.pm2/logs/app-err.log.
• With one command, PM2 can ensure that any applications it manages restart when the server reboots. Basically meaning your node application will start as a service.
