#run-time

what it does

the intent of this module is to automate, or speed up the deployment of your website or web application.

  • it creates configuration files for nginx and upstart, using forever, to make sure your app get's started when your server starts, and keeps running even after a crash of your app'.

what it does NOT

it does not help you with placing the files on your host. this is up to you. use sftp shipit, git or what ever suits you best.

    • check the runtime configurations with runtime list
    • check the running apps with forever list
    • if something goes wront check the logfile listed with forever list
  4. to start things manually run start <appName>
  5. to stop things manually run stop <appName> or do forever list and then forever stop <nr>

init (generates configuration files)

with init you can generate the configuration files for nginx and upstart.

the configuration folder .runtime is being created with the needed files.

the configuration itself is stored in the .runtime/configuration.json file.

if needed, you can modify the files manually, before running runtime add.

# simple node example
runtime init -n mynodeapp -d "mynodeapp.com www.mynodeapp.com" -p 3007 -x app.js

# another node example
runtime init -c node -n myapp -d "myapp.com www.myapp.com" -o "[ --myappPort 8080 --myappHost localhost ]" -p 8080  -e DEBUG=* -e NODE_ENV=production -x app.js

# http-server example
runtime init -n mycms -d "mycms.com www.mycms.com" -p 3008 -c http-server -o "[-i -p 3008]"

add

adds and activates the previously stored configuration files for nginx and upstart.

runtime add

remove

if you wan't to remove your app, you can do it of course with this command.

runtime remove
# or with specific appName
runtime remove -n myapp
