Tips

Your Server

We've already set up a basic node server for you. Details:

• Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise) - 64-bit
• server.js is at: /home/deploy/current/server.js
• logs are at: /home/deploy/shared/logs/server/current
• runit keeps the server running.
  • sv restart serverjs - restarts
  • sv start serverjs - starts
  • sv stop serverjs - stops
  • ps -ef | grep runsvdir - to see logs
  • cat /etc/service/serverjs/run - to see the config

You can use the ./deploy script included in this repo to deploy to your server right now. Advanced users, feel free to tweak.
