Hi @MikeRudi ,

Do you use Buildpacks or Dockerfile?

---

Buildpacks

If you use Buildpacks, you will need to set an environment variable PORT with the value of your choice (E.g. 3000).

Dockerfile

You will need to set the instruction EXPOSE 3000 (you can change the port number according to the listening port of your app).

Let me know

Im working with buildpacks.Node.js

Therefor I simply add the port and listen to it on my node app. and set my qovery port to 3000?
Check code below:

app.set(‘port’, process.env.PORT || 3000);
app.listen(3000);

If you use Buildpacks for your NodeJS app you simply need to:

1. set the port to 3000 in your Qovery app settings

2. set your environment variable PORT in your environment variable setting for your app

@MikeRudi

app.set(‘port’, process.env.PORT || 3000);
app.listen(3000);

It’s perfect
