with PM2 & Nginx

as a root, run below commands on server:

# adduser tomy

	sudo apt-get update
	sudo apt-get -y upgrade

	sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools
	sudo easy_install3 pip
	pip -V
	#pip 9.0.1 from /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/pip-9.0.1-py3.5.egg (python 3.5)

	sudo chown -R username:username ~/.local/
	# add to ./*shrc

	// mongoose 4.3.x
	var mongoose = require('mongoose');

	/*
	* Mongoose by default sets the auto_reconnect option to true.
	* We recommend setting socket options at both the server and replica set level.
	* We recommend a 30 second connection timeout because it allows for
	* plenty of time in most operating environments.
	*/
	var options = { server: { socketOptions: { keepAlive: 300000, connectTimeoutMS: 30000 } },

	#add 'node_modules' to .gitignore file

	git rm -r --cached node_modules
	git commit -m 'Remove the now ignored directory node_modules'
	git push origin <branch-name>
