pm2 not running next.js

Question

I have next.js application on an apache server.I was running npm run start in my terminal and it is working as expected, starting build website. problem is that when I close terminal, service stops. I know that I have to use pm2 for that and I have installed it globally, problem is that it is not running. am trying this command

pm2 start npm --name "khulo" -- start

my application name is "khulo". this is the output I get from terminal:

therefore as far as I understand, there is no process and therefore there is no service on my server. what is the problem? am running that command in my root project

edit: I know that I need priviliges as an user to start pm2, but am not root user, therefore now am asking what privillege do I need as a non-root user to control pm2?

Where is the project actually ? are you running pm2 command in your project directory ( in which package.json is present ) or in your working directory ? — sachin, Apr 26 '23 at 10:33
I had same problem, issue was that user which is running pm2 didn't have permissions for app folder and files. Did you try running `npm start` as that user? — nighthawk, Apr 26 '23 at 10:59
yeah, just normal npm start, npm run start, npm run build works just fine — Y U K I M U R A, Apr 26 '23 at 14:35

Have you try this:

pm2 start "npm run start" --name "khulo"

More informations: https://pm2.keymetrics.io/docs/usage/process-management/

If you need to start as root:

sudo pm2 start "npm run start" --name "khulo"

am not root user. trying this command: pm2 start npm --name "khulo" -- start using root user works fine, I just want to know what privilleges do I need as non-root user to be able to run same command without any problem. – Y U K I M U R A May 04 '23 at 07:25
Have you tried with `sudo` as i wrote in my answer? – Alaindeseine May 06 '23 at 12:15
privileges needed depends on user that run PM2 daemon – Alaindeseine May 06 '23 at 12:16
I cant run sudo as am not super user – Y U K I M U R A May 07 '23 at 18:29

I have a nextjs app running with the same command that is connected to the nodejs backend. I start with the sudo permissions by running sudo su

pm2 start npm --name "khulo" --start

To start with the non-root user, try the following link
