This is the toughest part, deploying meteor application, all the tutorials i tried are confusing, i myself faced this problem
so decided to write a tutorial on how i was able to successfully host my meteor app
USE MUPX
i hosted my meteor app on dedicated linux server with 1TB hard drive and 16gb ram and ubuntu server os
We are using linux machine, lubuntu was our os , this might not work on windows, we were using linux machine for development

install
mupx on your local machine
related
link
https://github.com/arunoda/meteor-up/tree/mupx#
npm install -g mupx
node and npm should be installed on your local machine
got to your project directory
cd /projectdirectory
mupx init
this will create mup.json and settings.json file in your project
folder
now most important thing is to configure your mup.json file
{
// Server authentication info
"servers": [
{
"host": "64.23.434.2",
"username": "root",
"password": "rootpassword",
// or pem file (ssh based authentication)

//"pem": "~/.ssh/id_rsa",
// Also, for non-standard ssh port use this
"sshOptions": { "port" : 7576 },
// server specific environment variables
"env": {}
}
],
// Install MongoDB on the server. Does not destroy the local MongoDB on future setups
"setupMongo": true,
// Application name (no spaces).
"appName": "yourappname",
// Location of app (local directory). This can reference '~' as the users home directory.

this
is the example of mup.json file of lovenmarrymails
"servers": [
{
"host": "64.23.232.3", <-- your server ip
"username": "root",
"password": "rootpassword",
// or pem file (ssh based authentication)
// WARNING: Keys protected by a passphrase are not supported
//"pem": "~/.ssh/id_rsa",
// Also, for non-standard ssh port use this
"sshOptions": { "port" : 7576 },

"env": {}
}
{
"host": "64.23.232.3", <-- your server ip
"username": "root",
"password": "rootpassword",
// or pem file (ssh based authentication)
// WARNING: Keys protected by a passphrase are not supported
//"pem": "~/.ssh/id_rsa",
// Also, for non-standard ssh port use this
"sshOptions": { "port" : 7576 },
// server specific environment variables
"env": {}
}
add your server connection details here
host , username, password
if there is ssh root conntion details then it will be ok
if you have diffrent port for sshconnection then mention it
"sshOptions": { "port"
: 7576 }
or by default it will take port 22
no mongodb installed on server
//
Install MongoDB on the server. Does not destroy the local MongoDB on future
setups
"setupMongo": true,
"setupMongo": true,
this will install it on docker
better is to choose this option only
if you set
"setupMongo": false,
then you have to specify path in env
but it might give port accessing error so avoid this
/ This
is the same as the line below.
"app": "/home/websol/projectfiles",
"app": "/home/websol/projectfiles",
here you have to give path of your
local machine project directory
"env": {
"PORT": 80,
"ROOT_URL": "http://yourdomain.com"
//"MONGO_URL": "mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/meteor",
},
"PORT": 80,
"ROOT_URL": "http://yourdomain.com"
//"MONGO_URL": "mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/meteor",
},
mention the port and root_url of your project
now your mup.json is configured now
mupx reset
this command will set environment install docker, install
mongodb on your server
in this command error will be shown if there is any
like connection problem or installation problem etc.
else your config is right
mupx deploy
this
command will upload the bundle on your server
and start
your app
now go to
web browser and run your root_url you have mentioned
and your
meteor app is running
this will
bundle your app on server at
/opt/yourapp/current/
location
