Here’s a guide to install pm2 and pm2-logrotate on Debian 12:
Step 1: Update the System
Make sure your system is up-to-date:
|
1 |
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y |
Step 2: Install Node.js (if not already installed)
If Node.js and npm aren’t installed yet, install them. Use the NodeSource setup script to get the latest stable version.
Step 3: Install pm2
Install pm2 globally using npm:
|
1 |
sudo npm install -g pm2 |
Step 4: Set up pm2 to Start on Boot
To ensure pm2 restarts your applications after a reboot, use:
|
1 |
pm2 startup |
The command will output another command specific to your system, so copy and run it as instructed.
Step 5: Install pm2-logrotate
Now, install the pm2-logrotate module:
|
1 |
pm2 install pm2-logrotate |
This will set up log rotation for all pm2 applications by default. You can also configure pm2-logrotate with custom settings.
Step 6: Configure pm2-logrotate (Optional)
To adjust pm2-logrotate settings, use the following command:
|
1 2 3 4 |
pm2 set pm2-logrotate:max_size 10M # Rotate when log reaches 10MB pm2 set pm2-logrotate:retain 7 # Keep logs for 7 days pm2 set pm2-logrotate:compress true # Compress logs after rotation pm2 set pm2-logrotate:rotateInterval '0 0 * * *' # Rotate daily |
Step 7: Verify Installation
