How do I deploy a Vite application?

To deploy a Vite application, you can follow these steps: 1. Build your app using npm run build. 2. Choose a hosting service like Vercel, Netlify, or GitHub Pages. 3. Upload the contents of the dist folder to your chosen service.

What if I want to deploy it on my own server?

If you're deploying on your own server, you can use a web server like Nginx or Apache. After building your app, copy the dist folder to your server's root directory and configure the server to serve the static files.

Are there any specific configurations I need for Nginx?

Yes, for Nginx, you can use a configuration like this:

server { 
    listen 80; 
    server_name your_domain.com; 
    root /path/to/your/dist; 
    index index.html; 

    location / { 
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html; 
    } 
} 

This ensures that your app handles routing correctly.

Can I use Docker for deployment?

Absolutely! You can create a Dockerfile to containerize your Vite app. Use a multi-stage build to optimize the image size, and then run a web server like Nginx in the container to serve your app.
