Install Fastify on a VPS

Deploy a Fastify (Node.js) API on your VPS with SoftServer. The panel installs Node.js, configures the reverse proxy, and supervises your process.

Install steps

1. Open your server and go to Platform Installation.
2. Choose Fastify as the backend. Run it as a standalone API, or pair it with a Next.js or Nuxt frontend.
3. Confirm the install. Node.js and the reverse proxy are configured and your service is started under a managed process.
4. Open the domain shown in the panel.

After install

• Point your domain under Domains and enable SSL.
• Use Git deploy to ship and update your repository.
• Add a database or Redis from the panel as needed.
• Manage the Node.js version and workers from the dashboard.

Fastify is built for speed and low overhead, making it a strong pick for high-throughput APIs. It runs under supervision, so it restarts automatically after a crash or reboot.
