Serving a Self-Hosted Site After `npm run build`

At a glance

The post asks how to start the app after self-hosting the site following an npm run build command. The comments suggest using npx serve . or setting up a service with pm2. Another community member recommends installing @remix-run/serve and running PORT=3000 npx remix-serve build/server/index.js, but they are experiencing issues with the site loading and then disappearing. The discussion also covers potential issues with font imports and the Vercel plugin in Vite. However, there is no explicitly marked answer to the original question.
