Does the template support Nuxt 3 and Nuxt 2?

It is optimized for Nuxt 3. Nuxt 2 can work, but the Nginx configurations differ slightly.

Can SQLite be used with this template?

Yes. SQLite works perfectly for small projects. PostgreSQL is available for more demanding applications.

How do I handle application updates?

Pull, rebuild, restart PM2: `git pull && npm ci && npm run build && pm2 restart nuxt-app`. This can be automated with a GitHub webhook or a CI/CD pipeline.

The Nuxt Stack template configures your VPS to host a Nuxt 3 application in SSR (Server-Side Rendering) mode in production: Node.js LTS, PM2 for process management, Nginx as a reverse proxy, and PostgreSQL if your application uses a database. Nuxt's performance settings are preconfigured for production.

Hosting Nuxt on your own VPS gives you advantages that Nuxt SaaS hosts cannot: reduced latency for your Moroccan users, predictable cost, and full access to the machine to run workers, cron jobs or auxiliary services.
