install wordpress normal to your web host for example use sub domain sub.mylink.com
and get the rest api link from that sub.mylink. com/wp-json/ and put this link on frontity.settings.js
check this tutorial docs.frontity.org/getting-started/connecting-to-wordpress

4

next step on development mode use build npx frontity build
docs.frontity. org/deployment

now you can deploy your webiste to any nodejs hosting and will show all data grap from sub .mylink .com to new link for example mylink. com

so now mylink. com is front end for your website and sub.mylink.com for admin area or wp dashboard

maybe sub.mylink.com should be stoped by roboto.txt

It looks like Lightsail is using Bitnami image for creating a Node.js app. Full documentation is on: https://docs.bitnami.com/aws/infrastructure/nodejs/

It looks like for NodeJS processes they recommend using forever:

After you’ve done npx frontity build, you can run the Frontity server with forever using:

forever start -c "npx frontity serve"

Finally, it looks like Bitnami is using Apache as a reverse proxy. You should add a virtual host there. I’m not an Apache expert, but I guess something like this to redirect the 80 port to the internal localhost on port 3000.

<VirtualHost _default_:80>
  ServerAlias *
  DocumentRoot "/opt/bitnami/projects/frontity"
  <Directory "/opt/bitnami/projects/frontity">
    Require all granted
  </Directory>
  ProxyPass / http://localhost:3000/
  ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:3000/
</VirtualHost>

Full docs on https://docs.bitnami.com/aws/infrastructure/nodejs/administration/create-custom-application-nodejs/

Just remember that Frontity is a regular NodeJS app. You should be able to host it as any other NodeJS app out there :slightly_smiling_face:
