taco-nginx
Bash script that runs a service and forwards a subdomain to it using nginx when it listens to $PORT
npm install -g taco-nginx
We recommend using latest stable nginx (>1.8.0). If you are on Ubuntu LTS for example you may need to do this:
add-apt-repository ppa:nginx/stable
apt-get update
apt-get install nginx
Usage
First write a service (in any language) similar to this
var http = require('http')
var server = http.createServer(function (req, res) {
console.log('Got request!', req.url)
res.end('hello world\n')
})
server.listen(process.env.PORT, function () {
console.log('Server is listening...')
})
Assuming the above file is called server.js and you have nginx running you can now do
taco-nginx --name my-service node server.js
taco-nginx will now spawn node server.js, wait for it to listen to the port specified in
$PORT and then have nginx route requests to my-service.* to it.
If you don't specify --name it will see if you have a package.json and use the name field
taco-nginx node server.js # uses name from package.json
For a full list of options run
taco-nginx --help
