In client folder, follow next.js command to run yarn dev Then you can see the client side will be running at port 3000 as next.js default port.

In server folder, follow node.js command to run node index.js

or follow nodemon command to run nodemon index.js

Make sure installed nodemon in global of your computer.

Then you can see the server will be started at port 3001. Server is running on port 3001

The big challenge for me is deployed frontned and backend on AWS EC2 server to build a web. I set up nginx for running a web server, and use SSL as secruity url to visit the website. I use socke.io-client for client side and socket.io for server side to handshake. It was the first time I make a project for both side to run a web server.

For this project, I haven't made a pretty layout with it, just foucs on functional for the actions about join/leave room, send/recevie message, system send message when the user join/leave.

This project is using pm2 to handle next.js(frontend) and node.js(backend) on web service.
