[SAPUI5] Deploying the ui5 sample app on debian

I’m deploying the openui5-sample-app to a Linux Container running Debian Buster. First update the packages and install Node.js.

apt update && apt upgrade -y
apt install curl -y
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | bash -
apt install nodejs -y
nodejs --version

Install PM2 (process manager to manage Node.js applications) and the UI5 Tooling

npm install pm2 -g
npm install --global @ui5/cli

Now clone the openui5-sample-app and build it

apt install git
git clone https://github.com/SAP/openui5-sample-app.git
cd openui5-sample-app/
ui5 build -a
cd ..

Run your project on port 8000. With “startup” it will automatically create a systemd script.

pm2 serve openui5-sample-app/dist/ 8000
pm2 startup
pm2 save
systemctl start pm2-root
systemctl status pm2-root

[SAPUI5] local ui5 development

4. Set up a Github project and do your initial push
