Deploy React-(Create-React-App),Express.js and MySQL

Question

How to deploy react (Create-React-App), Express.js and MySQL ?

I tried deploying on cPanel. do I have to change it to Production mode? how do I access the API on Express.js? do I have to create a sub domain on Express.js?

because so far I only use the library which is concurrently and nodemon. and on React.js I added a proxy like this: "proxy": "http: // localhost: 5000", where localhost: 5000 has a port from Express.js

Package.json script in server.js

  "scripts": {
    "client-install": "npm install --prefix client",
    "start": "node server.js",
    "server": "nodemon server.js",
    "client": "npm start --prefix client",
    "dev": "concurrently --kill-others \" npm run server\" \"npm run client\""
  },

Package.json script in React

  "proxy": "http://localhost:5000",
  "scripts": {
    "start": "react-scripts start",
    "build": "react-scripts build",
    "test": "react-scripts test",
    "eject": "react-scripts eject"
  },

My App :

Client > folder react app > Package.json,Src
Node modules > npm from server
Server > Express config,Routes,Controller
.babelrc
server.js
package.json

Do you have terminal access on the cPanel? If yes, then

Start your node server (Using PS or Nodemon)
If your cPanel is using any kind of a server (nginx or Apache webserver for example), then configure the server file to redirect to localhost:5050 on *:80 and *:443
Configure your Express.js to serve on port 5050

And that's it.

You don't need a subdomain, by default the domain uses the *:80(HTTP) and *443(HTTPS) ports. You need to configure those in your server. Are you using Express js as your server (wherein you are serving the static files from the Express js app itself)?
