How do I host this on a server? I can't find the index.html after running build.

[davidfufu]

The build commands don't create a build directory with an index.html. I'm stuck. I was wondering if the static folder was the build folder. It has the bundle.js file, but i don't see any html files? Can anyone shed some light on this?

Hello @davidfufu, to run this on a server, you will need to have node/npm installed and then run:

npm run start:universal

Let me know if this helps you 😉

So, I took a shot at hosting it on heroku. I got the log files from the initial install.

-----> Build failed
 !     Outdated Yarn lockfile
       Your application contains a Yarn lockfile (yarn.lock) which does not
       match the dependencies in package.json. This can happen if you use npm
       to install or update a dependency instead of Yarn.
       Please run the following command in your application directory and check
       in the new yarn.lock file:
       $ yarn install
       $ git add yarn.lock
       $ git commit -m "Updated Yarn lockfile"
       $ git push heroku master

       https://kb.heroku.com/why-is-my-node-js-build-failing-because-of-an-outdated-yarn-lockfile
 !     Push rejected, failed to compile Node.js app.
 !     Push failed

So I see it's a problem with the yarn.lock file, and I take the following steps: 1.I fork your repo

2. clone it on my pc and run "yarn install"
3. I commit and push the new yarn.lock changes onto my forked rep
4. i create the heroku app and choose github as the deployment method
5. I link my forked repo and it says the deployment was successful
6. I click view app, and all I get is the error

Application error
An error occurred in the application and your page could not be served. If you are the application owner, check your logs for details.

When I inspect the webpage, the console has one error:

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 503 (Service Unavailable)

Then, I go to the heroku console and type in npm run start:universal and get the following error:

> judo-heroes-2@1.0.0 start:universal /app
> export UNIVERSAL=true && npm run start

> judo-heroes-2@1.0.0 start /app

Sorry for the late reply. It seems you have two problems here. an outdated yarn file and missing webpack in your heroku build pack. Not sure how to address both at the moment, but i am sure you can find something online.

Regarding yarn, i am sure if you just delete the yarn lock and re run yarn that should fix the issue. Regarding webpack there must be some webpack enabled build pack for heroku
