I am configuring production infrastructure for node.js with pm2 and I am stuck with the relation between ecosystem.json file and pm2 save command that writes some sort of dump file. As far as I understood the contents of that dump file will be used by pm2 in case server reboots.
Is it possible to pass an ecosystem.json file to pm2 startup script so that it acts much like a config file (something like nginx.conf for nginx) instead? I don't like the idea that the state after restart will be picked app from the dump file that is not in readable/editable format.
Or I'm missing the point of PM2 configuration?
