This command will install Node.js, NPM, Yarn, Git, Nginx, and SQLite on your system.

Step 3: Clone the Repository

Next, we need to clone the Local Food Nodes repository. Change to the desired directory and run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/localfoodnodes/localfoodnodes.git

Step 4: Install Dependencies

After cloning the repository, change the directory to where it was cloned and install the dependencies:

Step 5: Configure the Database

Local Food Nodes uses SQLite as its database. Create the database by running:

Step 6: Build the Application

To build the application, run the following command:

sudo npm run build

This command will build the application.

Step 7: Configure Nginx

Local Food Nodes requires Nginx to act as a reverse proxy. Create a new Nginx configuration file in /etc/nginx/conf.d/localfoodnodes.conf with the following content:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name localfoodnodes.example.com; # Replace with your own domain name
    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Connection "";
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    }
}

This file will configure Nginx to forward traffic on port 80 to Local Food Nodes running on localhost:3000.

Step 8: Start the Application

Finally, start the Local Food Nodes application by running:

sudo npm start

You can now access Local Food Nodes from a web browser by navigating to http://localfoodnodes.example.com. Replace localfoodnodes.example.com with your own domain name.
