How do I Deploy Remix App on Windows IIS shared hosting?

[apcjs]

I want to deploy a Remix app on a Windows IIS Server. There have been answers to this question here - How to deploy react Remix framework to IIS on windows server 2022?

However, this requires the server to be logged in. If I'm using a VPS Server that is possible. But how do I deploy to a shared hosting, for example, where I cannot run npm? Assumming I have IIS node installed on the shared hosting website, how do I deploy a Remix build?

A create-react-app webiste can be easily deployed by just copying the dist folder to the server.

When I build a remix app. I get a public/build folder. How do I deploy this folder to a public IIS website.

You could install and build locally, then upload the node_modules folder, package.json, public folder, and your server files (your server entry point if you have one, the build and any other file you may need).

Once you upload everything, make your server run npm start.

Remix is a server framework and will require node to run. All your previous create-react-app apps generated static HTML and JavaScript that IIS serves like any other file.

So unless your shared hosting allows you to run node apps, you won't be able to use Remix. However, you can still use React Router and get the benefits of Remix, like loaders and actions, nested layouts, etc.

Thanks. Node is installed on the server. My other apps use Express and they work fine.

Can you tell me which folder I need to deploy on the server. I tried copying the files in the public/build folder. There are a couple of JS files there entry.client*.js and root*.js. Which of these files are the entry point for the web site? Unlike a create-react-app build, I do not find a index.html file

the project folder is what you need to deploy to the server.

you can use the express template, and the server.js file is the entry point.

As far as I understood, we can use remix.js using client side rendering on shared hosting. And then build it, put files on shared hosting. Is that correct ?
