How to install fb-flo on startup in vagrant virtual machine
Tested on Linux Debian (x64)
Prerequisites : vim edior installed on linux vitual machine.
For install vim editor:sudo apt-get install vim
- Step 1: Install your vagrant machine (recommanded with: https://puphpet.com/)
- Step 2: Launch your VM:
vagrant up - Step 3: Launch vagrant ssh:
vagrant ssh - Step 4: Install "forever" npm package in global mode:
sudo npm install forever -g - Step 5: Install "initd-forever" npm package in global mode:
sudo npm install initd-forever -g - Step 6: Go to you parent source folder (In my case, my sources folder is /var/www/local.dev/, the parent source folder is /var/www/):
cd /var/www/ - Step 7: Create new file with vim and put this content inside :
sudo vim flo.js
var flo = require('fb-flo'),
path = require('path'),
fs = require('fs');
var server = flo(
'./',
{
port: 8888,
host: 'local.dev', /* YOUR MACHINE NAME */
verbose: false,
glob: [
'**/*.js',
'**/*.css',
'**/*.html'
],
useFilePolling: true,
pollingInterval: 500
},
function resolver(filepath, callback) {
callback({
resourceURL: filepath,
reload: !filepath.match(/\.(css|js)$/),
contents: fs.readFileSync(filepath),
update: function(_window, _resourceURL) {
console.log("Resource " + _resourceURL + " has just been updated with new content");
}
});
}
);- Step 8: Save file with this vim command :
:wq - Step 9: Create init.d service script with initd-forever package:
sudo initd-forever -a /var/www/flo.js -l /var/www/flo.log -n flo - Step 10: Edit flo script with vim:
sudo vim flo - Step 11: Make it look like this :
#!/bin/bash
#
# initd a node app
# Based on a script posted by https://gist.github.com/jinze at https://gist.github.com/3748766
#
# Source function library.
. /lib/lsb/init-functions
pidFile=/var/run/flo.pid
logFile=/var/www/flo.log
nodeApp=flo.js
start() {
echo "Starting $nodeApp"
cd /var/www/
sudo forever start --pidFile $pidFile -l $logFile -a -d $nodeApp
RETVAL=$?
}
restart() {
echo -n "Restarting $nodeApp"
sudo forever restart $nodeApp
RETVAL=$?
}
stop() {
echo -n "Shutting down $nodeApp"
sudo forever stop $nodeApp
RETVAL=$?
}
status() {
echo -n "Status $nodeApp"
sudo forever list
RETVAL=$?
}
case "$1" in
start)
start
;;
stop)
stop
;;
status)
status
;;
restart)
restart
;;
*)
echo "Usage: {start|stop|status|restart}"
exit 1
;;
esac
exit $RETVAL
- Step 12: Move flo script in /etc/init.d/ folder:
sudo mv flo /etc/init.d/flo - Step 13: Change flo chmod:
sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/flo - Step 14: Put flo in startup with this command:
sudo update-rc.d flo defaults - Step 15: Exit ssh:
exit - Step 16: Restart your vagrant machine:
vagrant reload - Step 17: Enjoy !
