features:
vhosts service can
✓ stop (stop command)
✓ start (start command)
✓ report status (status command)
✓ service different vhosts
- lists vhosts
add vhosts on the fly
✓ via file creation in cache directory
✓ via add command
remove hosts on the fly
✓ via file deletion
✓ via remove command
add wildcard hosts
✓ for windows os - a file with _ to represent *
✓ for windows os - a file _ to represent *
✓ via add command
Apart from adding domains->app.js mapping via cli one might also do so via direct file creation at the directory specified in the config. The name of the file should be the domain (substituting _ for *) and the content of the file should be the path to an app.js file
configuration
standard rc config, named vhosts
{
"port": 3000,
"directory": "/some/path",
"extensionBlacklist": [".swx", "swp"]
}
- port - the port to use for the main web server
- directory - where the domain to app path mapping resides (also see, directory-watcher)
- extensionBlacklist - ignore files in the data directory with these extensions
one might also blend in sdt config options into main configuration
debug
linux/osx
export DEBUG=vhosts*
windows
set DEBUG=vhosts*
Alternatives
TODO
- implement restart server
- implement reload vhost
