npm WARN meteor-dev-bundle@0.0.0 No description

I’m trying to deploy a Meteor (v1.4.2.3) app. The readme only says that Ubuntu is supported, but I tried to deploy my app to a hosted Debian server (Debian 8.6).

I found I needed to…

• Install docker (https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/debian/)
• Install sudo (http://sharadchhetri.com/2013/08/07/sudo-command-not-found-debian-7/)
• Change docker > image to abernix/meteord:base in mup.js (https://github.com/kadirahq/meteor-up/issues/172#issuecomment-235569968)

…and then things seemed to work well up until the validation stage of mup deploy:

The “** Meteor.startup **” message is a console.log() inside Meteor.startup(), so the app clearly runs, but mup deploy still fails. Do I need a server that runs Ubuntu instead of Debian, or can I fix this somehow?

The problem is curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found. There is an issue for it #618.

@949mac - After trying (and failing) a different way to deploy (this one), mup deploy suddenly started working. The only important thing I did in the meantime that can think of: I installed Meteor and Nginx manually on the server. So maybe mup setup doesn’t install Meteor properly?

Try to install Meteor on your server before you deploy (curl https://install.meteor.com/ | sh). If that doesn’t work, try to install Nginx as well, but then you’ll have to deploy your app to a different port than 80 (tutorial: https://www.bersling.com/2016/05/17/deploying-multiple-meteor-apps-on-one-digitalocean-server/)
