 One option is GitHub Actions. If your project is open source, like **fullstackjack.dev**,  it's also cost free.

+## Prerequisites
+
+1. A linux server
+2. Ability to login via SSH
+3. Install Node LTS
+4. Install Nginx
+
+## Server Setup
+We'll need to set up a service that can start and stop our Nuxt3 App. We use systemd to do this, because it will
+automatically restart the app if it goes down. 
+
+```
+[Unit]
+Description=fullstackjack service
+Documentation=https://fullstackjack.dev
+After=network.target
+
+
+[Service]
+Restart=always
+RestartSec=10
+TimeoutSec=300
+WorkingDirectory=/var/www/html/live
+ExecStart=/usr/bin/bash -c 'node .output/server/index.mjs'
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target
+
+# /etc/systemd/system/fullstackjack.service
+```
+Create a service in the **/etc/systemd/system directory**. Name it whatever you like, but be consistent in the rest of your 
+setup. I'll spare you the details for every little part of the service. 
+
+The interesting parts are:
+**ExecStart=/usr/bin/bash -c 'node .output/server/index.mjs'** which starts our Nuxt3 App. 
+
+**Restart=always** ensure systemd will restart the app if it goes down.
+
+Then run **systemctl enable fullstackjack** (keep in mind if you to replace fullstackjack with whatever you named your service)
+
+I'll give you my nginx set up as I have it. But the details are out of the scope of this tutorial.

+    server_name     fullstackjack.dev;
+    return 404; # managed by Certbot
+
+
+}
+
+```
+
+If you want SSL, which you most likely will, you can use [certbot]https://certbot.eff.org/instructions?ws=nginx&os=ubuntufocal) for free.
+
+Note: you can do all of this tutorial without setting up SSL.
