I suspect that the website keeps going down because it's been killed as a rogue child process of a closed ssh connection. Making it a systemd service could correct that.
Tentatively marking this issue as closed. The REST api doesn't seem as if it needs to be a service, but the node server was easily ported as a service. Hopefully it shouldn't be killed.
