Deploy NestJS on IIS

To deploy a NestJS application to Windows IIS (Internet Information Services), you’ll need to follow these general steps:

Make sure you have built your NestJS application using the npm run build command.

So, we can copy the package.json file to the dist folder and then run a npm install command inside the build(dist) folder.

To do so, lets open the package.json of your project and then add following scripts under the scripts section.

Now, build your NestJS application using the npm run build command.

Open the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager on your Windows server.

Create a new website or select an existing one where you want to deploy your NestJS app.

Ensure that the website is configured to use the appropriate .NET CLR version (typically v4.0) and the correct pipeline mode (Integrated).

In your NestJS application’s root folder, create a web.config file.

Open the web.config file and add the following configuration:

Copy the contents of the dist folder generated during the NestJS build process into the directory of your website in IIS.

Ensure that the main.js file and the web.config file are in the same directory.

Restart the IIS server to apply the changes.

Now, your NestJS application should be deployed and accessible through IIS. You can access it by navigating to the appropriate URL in a web browser.
