Based on this Nuxt docs page, once I run yarn build, then "Nuxt.js will create a .nuxt directory with everything inside ready to be deployed on your server hosting."
Based on a few other walkthroughs, there are some other required items: static/**, package.json, and nuxt.config.js.
One of those articles, as well as the instructions on the Nuxt page for deploying to Azure using IIS, says a server.js file is required, but I want to stick with "everything inside ready to be deployed." My Azure App Service is set up for Linux, not IIS, as well.
After I deploy those files/folders, however, npm run start (which maps to nuxt start), throws an error that nuxt is not a recognized command. This makes sense because I haven't installed the packages.
I've also tried starting the ssr app with node .nuxt/server.js and node .nuxt/dist/server/server.js. Neither of these work.
I really want to stick with the stated "Nuxt.js will create a .nuxt directory with everything inside ready to be deployed on your server hosting" instead of copying over the node_modules or having to npm install after deployment.
What files or commands am I missing here, and is this even possible?
- Node version is 14.16
- Nuxt version is a clean install of version 2.15.3
