Question 1

How do I deploy Remix to a VPS?

Accepted Answer

Remix can be deployed using the Express or Node.js server template. Build your app with "npm run build", then run the server with PM2: "pm2 start build/server.js --name remix". Configure Nginx as a reverse proxy to handle SSL and routing to your Remix port.

Question 2

What's the best way to self-host Remix?

Accepted Answer

The recommended approach is using the Remix Express adapter for maximum flexibility. Build your app, deploy to your VPS, use PM2 for process management, and Nginx for SSL termination. This setup is reliable, scalable, and gives you full control over your infrastructure.

Question 3

Can Remix handle server-side features when self-hosted?

Accepted Answer

Yes, all Remix features work when self-hosted including loaders, actions, nested routing, and streaming. The framework was designed to run on any JavaScript runtime. Self-hosting gives you the same capabilities as cloud platforms without vendor lock-in.

Question 4

What resources does Remix need on a server?

Accepted Answer

Remix is efficient and lightweight. A VPS with 1GB RAM can handle small to medium apps. For production workloads with higher traffic, 2-4GB RAM is recommended. You'll need Node.js 18+ and optionally a reverse proxy like Nginx.
