Manage your dev servers from the browser without having to think about ports or commands <3
Add your servers commands (need to be done only once)
~/projects/one$ hotel add nodemon
~/projects/two$ hotel add 'serve -p $PORT'
Now, you can access, start and stop your servers from localhost:2000.
As a shortcut, you can also directly go to:
http://localhost:2000/one
http://localhost:2000/two
Works on OS X, Linux and Windows.
npm install -g hotel
If you install hotel
using sudo
, please run the following command hotel autostart && hotel start
to complete installation.
To add a server
hotel add <cmd> cmd [opts]
# Examples:
hotel add nodemon -o out.log # Set output file
hotel add nodemon -n name # Set custom name
hotel add nodemon -e ENV # Save environment variable
To list, start and stop servers go to
http://localhost:2000
To start and access directly your server go to
http://localhost:2000/<app-name>
Other commands
hotel ls # List servers
hotel rm [name] # Remove server
hotel start # Start daemon
hotel stop # Stop daemon
hotel autostart # Create autostart script
hotel rm-autostart # Remove autostart script
For hotel
to work, your servers need to listen on the PORT environment variable.
Here are some examples showing how you can do it from your code or the command-line:
var port = process.env.PORT || 3000
server.listen(port)
hotel add 'cmd -p $PORT' # OS X, Linux
hotel add "cmd -p %PORT%" # Windows
~/.hotel
contains daemon log, servers and daemon configurations.
~/.hotel/conf.json
~/.hotel/daemon.log
~/.hotel/servers/<app-name>.json
