Orionjs comes with a built-in CLI tool that helps you start your application in production mode.

​
Deployment Steps

The deployment process for an Orionjs application follows a standard Node.js deployment workflow:

  1. Install dependencies

    pnpm install

  2. Start the server

    pnpm orion prod

    This will start the Node.js server using the entry point at app/index.ts.

​
Environment Variables

Remember that you must set the environment variables needed to load the .env file before starting the server:

  • ORION_ENV_SECRET_KEY: The secret key used to decrypt your environment variables
  • ORION_ENV_FILE_PATH: Path to your encrypted environment file
