Install NestJS on a VPS

Run a NestJS API or full application on your VPS. SoftServer installs Node.js, configures the reverse proxy, and keeps your service alive with a process manager — no SSH needed.

Install steps

1. Open your server and go to Platform Installation.
2. Choose NestJS as the backend. Run it as an API only, or pair it with a Next.js or Nuxt frontend for a full stack.
3. Confirm the install. Node.js and the reverse proxy are configured and your app is started under supervision.
4. Open the domain shown in the panel.

After install

• Point your domain under Domains and enable SSL.
• Use Git deploy to ship your repository and pull updates.
• Add a database from the Databases section if your API needs persistence.
• Manage the Node.js version and background workers from the panel.

API or full stack

NestJS is a natural fit for a decoupled architecture. Install a composable split stack to run NestJS as the API and Next.js or Nuxt as the frontend, both managed on one server with shared SSL and backups.
