I was tasked with localizing the facebook application, which is built in Node.js, which, I was told, uses Nginx for SSL.
This is my first entry into the world of Node.js, and I hit the wall, understanding the deployment process associated with clicking the node application on the World Wide Web (to access it via facebook).
I have a background in front-end development with javascript, AJAX, html and css. Just like backend PHP and MYSQL. The task is to localize content that I'm not worried about, since it is just a matter of replacing multiple images. His basic understanding of how the Node.js puzzle fits together is where it falls. This does not mean that Nginx is even suitable.
I did a lot to search the Internet and found a lot of tutorials for beginners, for example http://www.nodebeginner.org/ , which is great, but not about how node deployed web applications. I can create a simple hello world example locally, but how does this become the "right site". There are also a ton of other resources, but they require a more advanced level of understanding and technical know-how. I just need this in an unprofessional setting.
I understand that Node.js is server-side javascript, so does this obviously mean that it lives on the server correctly? I currently have a domain, website and hosting plan, can I use this server? I access it through cpanel or ftp. Or do I need to create a new server from scratch? Perhaps a virtual server can use https://www.virtualbox.org/ so that this could happen?
any help you can possibly give me is greatly appreciated.
greetings
