DESCRIPTION: ↑

This cookbook will deploy node and npm (node package manager) to your system. It also defines providers to install/uninstall node module and start/stop/restart node servers.

REQUIREMENTS: ↑

  • a working git framework (for example provided by Opscode git cookbook)

Tested on ubuntu. Should work on other system with upstart.

ATTRIBUTES: ↑

  • node/revision : indicates which revision to install. Default is the latest (‘HEAD’). Since node evolves very quickly and is not always that stable, you might want to set it to a stable version (for example ‘v0.4.3’)

  • ‘node[:packages]` - An array of npm packages to be installed globally

USAGE: ↑

Include the node recipe to download, compile and install node along with npm.

Optionally, you can add NPM packages by creating a packages array:

“‘ default_attributes({

node: {
  packages: ['coffee-script', 'lineman']
}

}) “‘

defines: ↑

node_server provider to start/stop server. The following example will start a provided script with node. Logs can be found in /var/log/node-my_node_server.log.

node_server "my_node_server" do
    script "/path/to/your/node/script.js" # mandatory
    user "my_user" # default : nodejs
    dependency ["required","node","modules"] # default []. Will be installed with npm before starting the server
    args "arguments for your script" # default ""
    init_style :runit # default - by platform. Spported values: :upstart, :init, :runit
    action :start # Will start a node server. In [stop,start,restart], default :start
end

node_npm provider to manage nodejs modules. The following example will install the connect module for node.

node_npm "connect" do
    action :install
end
