Deploy Meteor on Windows

Question

I find it rather weird that there are no detailed step by step explanations on how to deploy your own Meteor webapp onto your own Windows server. Or maybe I\'m just not able

Answer 1

Well, their page about custom deployment is quite short and I discovered some facts while managing to deploy the Welcome to Meteor application:

• the ROOT_URL environment variable is required but seems that the port number inside makes no sense.
• the port number is defined by the PORT environment variable or assigned by node. This PORT variable is not mentioned in the guide. I used the netstat command to find out the port used.
• the MONGO_URL environment variable is optional in this application.
• must run npm install before executing the meteor build

Hope this help.
