To deploy a Node.js application to a VPS using PM2 and SCP, build a local npm package, copy it via SCP to the remote server, install it globally, and restart the service using an existing PM2 ecosystem configuration file.

The best way to rebuild better-sqlite3 during a remote VPS deployment is to install the packed npm tarball globally using the --ignore-scripts flag, then explicitly trigger a native dependency rebuild for better-sqlite3 on the remote host.

npm pack works for release tarballs by bundling your Node.js project into a single .tgz file locally, which you then securely copy to a remote VPS using SCP for deterministic global installation and native dependency rebuilding.

Yes, you can use PM2 to restart a Node.js service on a fixed port after an SCP deployment by referencing an ecosystem configuration file that specifies the application target and managing the process directly from the remote server.

Your Node.js deployment fails because better-sqlite3 requires native binaries specific to the host environment, meaning you must rebuild the dependency on the remote VPS after transferring the package to ensure native compatibility.

Yes, you need an existing PM2 ecosystem configuration file to deploy OmniRoute to an Akamai VPS, as the deployment process relies on restarting the service from a predefined configuration path to manage environment variables and process persistence.
