Deploying of NodeJS Express Typescript API on IIS

Question

I'm trying to deploy my NodeJS Express Typescript API App on my IIS. While searching, I came across using the iisnode which is outdated and not maintained module these past few year. Also I came accross using reverse proxy. What is the best way or more efficient way to deploy my app in iis? Thanks a lot.

Hi @ABGS Technical Support,

1.Build the project and we can find the publish files inside dist folder.

2.Create a site in IIS and set the physical path to E:\repos\Nodejs\typescript-express-api\dist.

3.The publish files should like below.

4.The content of web.config.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <handlers>
            <add name="httpPlatformHandler" path="*" verb="*" modules="httpPlatformHandler" resourceType="Unspecified" requireAccess="Script" />
        </handlers>
        <httpPlatform stdoutLogEnabled="true" stdoutLogFile=".\node.log" startupTimeLimit="20" processPath="E:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe" arguments=".\index.js">
            <environmentVariables>
                <environmentVariable name="PORT" value="%HTTP_PLATFORM_PORT%" />
                <environmentVariable name="NODE_ENV" value="Production" />
            </environmentVariables>
        </httpPlatform>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>

5. Test Result.

Tip:

We can find the nodejs installed path by command: where node
