Init script for React

[pleia2]

In development we were using npm run start and running it inside of screen or something similar to test the service, but in production we need to add this to systemd and have a proper service file to manage start/stop/restart of the service, and to make sure it keeps running.

@vmuralictr Can you reply to this issue with your clarification on the correct way to run React in production? Then we can probably close this one out.

Thanks @pleia2 Here's the correct way to run React in production:

1. Build the static files: npm run build
2. Serve the build/ folder using nginx or npx serve -s build
3. Wrap it in a systemd service for start/stop/restart management

Note: npm run start is for development only — avoid it in production.

Thanks. Since this is standard web hosting and the web servers will have their own mechanisms for staying running, I'll close this out and we'll rely upon documentation for getting files in the right place.
