    To provide the best possible environment for Strapi there are a few requirements, these apply in both a development (local) as well as a staging and production workflow.

    • Node LTS (v12 or V14) Note that odd-number releases of Node will never be supported (e.g. v13, v15).
    • NPM v6 or whatever ships with the LTS Node versions
    • Typical standard build tools for your OS (the package on most Debian-based systems)
    • At least 1 CPU core (Highly recommended at least 2)
    • Minimum required storage space recommended by your OS or 32 GB of free space
    • A supported database version
      • MySQL >= 5.6
      • MariaDB >= 10.1
      • PostgreSQL >= 10
      • SQLite >= 3
      • MongoDB >= 3.6
    • A supported operating system
      • Ubuntu >= 18.04 (LTS-Only)
      • Debian >= 9.x
      • CentOS/RHEL >= 8
      • Windows 10
      • Docker -

    We always recommend you use environment variables to configure your application based on the environment. Here is an example:

    Path — ./config/server.js.

    Then you can create a .env file or directly use the deployment platform you use to set environment variables:

    Path — .env.

    1. APP_HOST=10.0.0.1
    2. NODE_PORT=1338

    TIP

    To learn more about configuration you can read the documentation here

    Before running your server in production you need to build your admin panel for production

    1. npm install cross-env

    Then in your package.json scripts section:

    1. "production": "cross-env NODE_ENV=production npm run build"

    Run the server with the production settings.

    1. NODE_ENV=production npm start

    Then in your package.json scripts section:

    WARNING

    We highly recommend using to manage your process.

    If you need a server.js file to be able to run node server.js instead of npm run start then create a ./server.js file as follows:

    1. const strapi = require('strapi');
