+
+## With Nginx
+
+1. Add the heroku Nginx buildpack [here](https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-nginx.git)
+
+1. Change to the 'node' preset in your `nuxt.config`
+
+   ```Json5
+   "nitro":{
+      "preset":"node",
+   }
+   ```
+
+1. From the **Existing app** section of buildpack doc, 2 key steps are required to get things running
+
+   Step 1: Listen on a socket at 'tmp/nginx.socket'
+   Step 2: Create a file '/tmp/app-initialized' when your app is ready to accept connections
+
+1. Create custom app runner, eg: apprunner.mjs at the root of the project (or any other prefered location), in this file, create a server, using the listener generated by the node preset, then listen on the socket as detailed in the buildpack doc
+
+   ```Js
+   import { createServer } from 'node:http'
+   import {listener} from './.output/server/index.mjs'
+   const server = createServer(listener)
+   server.listen('/tmp/nginx.socket') //following the buildpack doc
+   ```
+
+1. To create the 'tmp/app-initialized' file, use a nitro plugin, create file 'initServer.ts' at the root of the project (or any other prefered location)
+
+   ```Js
+   import fs from "fs"
+   export default defineNitroPlugin((nitroApp) => {
+      if((process.env.NODE_ENV || 'development') != 'development')fs.openSync('/tmp/app-initialized', 'w')
+   })
+   ```
+
+1. Finally, create file 'Procfile' at the root of the project, with the Procfile, we tell heroku to start nginx and use the custom apprunner.mjs to start the server
+
+   web: bin/start-nginx node apprunner.mjs
+
+1. Bonus: create file 'config/nginx.conf.erb' to customize your nginx config. With the node preset, by default, static files handlers will not be generated, you can use nginx to server static files, just add the right location rule to the server block(s), or, force the node preset to generate handlers for the static files by setting serveStatic to true
