I was thinking whether we can deploy Meteor.js app doing this:

  1. curl https://install.meteor.com | /bin/sh
  2. meteor create myApp
  3. cd myApp
  4. FTP app files into myApp directory
  5. meteor

    Instead of doing the ftp, why don't you just check out the app files from wherever you are getting them in the first place? – Andrew Mao Jul 24 '13 at 15:43
  • Do you mean if I'm using git in my development workflow, I should use git to deploy the files and changes into `myApp` directory? – Nyxynyx Jul 24 '13 at 15:48

    Yes. Or you may just want to use https://npmjs.org/package/meteor-deploy. Also, be aware of the differences between the development environment and production environment of meteor: http://stackoverflow.com/a/14876259/586086 – Andrew Mao Jul 24 '13 at 16:23

I assume you are trying to deploy to your own server. Therefore your need to create the bundle which you can them FTP and expand in your server/directory as follows:

  1. create the bundle: meteor bundle myApp.tgz
  2. FTP myApp.tgz into your server/directory.
  3. Locate the uploaded tar file and extract it with the following command: tar -zxvf nameofyourapp.tgz

Note: If the machine you developed the application is different than the machine you are deploying to, you will need to rebuild the native package. To do this, enter the bundle/programs/server/node_modules directory. cd bundle/programs/server/node_modules Once there remove the fibers directory rm -r fibers Rebuild fibers using npm: npm install fibers This will install the latest fibers version, specific to the platform you are deploying to.

  • The question is not about the official bundling process, but whether it would be appropriate to just copy over the sources and run `meteor` and I believe the comments actually serve the purpose of providing a fairly complete answer. – Serkan Durusoy Feb 19 '14 at 17:52
