it seems that node_modules is now required in order to run

[thoraxe]

nginx logs:
2021/06/08 20:03:59 [error] 24#24: *2 open() "/usr/share/nginx/html/node_modules/protobufjs/dist/protobuf.js" failed (2: No such file or directory), client: 10.0.2.100, server: localhost, request: "GET /node_modules/protobufjs/dist/protobuf.js HTTP/1.1", host: "localhost:8080", referrer: "http://localhost:8080/index.html"

It looks like we are now dependent on node.js to serve, or at least for the node_modules to be committed to the repo? This is probably not good.

Did you mean for this to be the case, @Jared-Sprague ?
