Angular

Client-side app

An Angular project (@angular/core) without SSR is built with your build script (ng build) and the browser output is served by nginx as a single-page app, so the Angular router's deep links work.

The output folder comes from angular.json (architect.build.options.outputPath of the default or first application), so dist/<project>/browser with the current application builder and dist/<project> with older ones are both found.

Server-side rendering

With @angular/ssr installed, the builder runs node dist/<project>/server/server.mjs. The generated server reads PORT from the environment.

Environment values

Angular has no built-in environment variable support at build time. If you generate an environment.ts from variables in a prebuild script, those variables are available during the build. See Build variables.

Start command

Leave it empty. ng serve is a development server and is ignored as a start command.
