cloudfoundary: too complicated to deploy nodejs app

hoatle commented 12 years ago

nodejitsu: can not have:

  "scripts": {
    "test": "make test",
    "start": "make run"
  }

on package.json. It requires "start": "{file-name}.js" for node server startup. This cause problem that the application can not be compiled and run at: http://hoatle.jit.su/

there is a trick to make jitsu run on 'dev' mode. By default, jitsu sets NODE_ENV is 'production'.

To get the app run on prod mode for the first time of deployment, later just 'jitsu deploy'
- remove public from .gitignore, 'make install', commit and 'jitsu deploy'.
- jitsu env set NODE_ENV prod
- jitsu apps restart
To get the app run on dev mode (first time of deployment, later just jitsu deploy)
- jitsu deploy
- jitsu env set NODE_ENV dev
- jitsu apps restart
