brettswift/vagrant-nodeJsServer

Vagrant Nodejs Server

This project bootstraps a Vagrant box with Puppet and Puppet-librarian.

It wraps the brettswift/nodesite puppet module which deploys and configures a nodejs application on a specified version of nodejs.

The nodejs application is configured simply with:

• the git URI
• branch/tag (default: master)
• file to start your web app (default app.js)

###configuration### db_connection_string is passed into the yaml_entries of nodesite. This is the only way to connect uptime to the database currently. Authentication between how mongo is configued via the puppetlabs-mongodb module, and how uptime connects, is not functional.

Run: vagrant up and you will have a running nodejs application in under 4 minutes mapped to http://localhost:8082.

By default, this is conifigured to run my feature branch of Uptime hosted on github https://github.com/brettswift/uptime

Git deploys are also enabled by default. The nodesite module will check for upstream changes on each puppet run. If there are any it will run a git pull, npm prune, npm install and restart the service.

Project Structure

• manifests/site.pp node classification
• site local module code
• modules installed by librarian-puppet
• shell bootstrap provisioners. * so you can use a clean base vagrant box that doesn't have puppet if you want
