Manage Node.js versions

For Node.js apps — Next.js, Nuxt, NestJS, Express or Fastify — SoftServer installs and manages Node.js from the panel.

Steps

1. Open your server and go to Node.js management.
2. Install the Node.js version your app targets, or switch to a different one.
3. Deploy or restart your app so it runs on the selected version.

Version tips

• Match the Node.js version to what your framework and dependencies support.
• Newer LTS versions are a safe default for most apps.
• Changing versions may require reinstalling node_modules — you can trigger an npm install from the panel.

Node apps run under a managed process, so they restart automatically after a crash or server reboot.
