NODE JS SERVER WITH NGINX

This gives you an immediate node/nginx local development environment. If you want to just be up and running, pull down both the node.box and the Vagrantfile. This will give you ability to run it right away. If you want to start from scracth you will need to follow these steps. First build a base box with nodeJs and nginx. Then export that base box to node.box. Finally use the new Vagrantfile to run node.box.

Contents

Building your box

ENV['VAGRANT_DEFAULT_PROVIDER'] = 'virtualbox'
Vagrant.require_version ">= 2.0.0"

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|

  config.vm.box = "ubuntu/xenial64"
  config.ssh.forward_agent = true

# CONFIGURE NODE SERVER
# 
# set hostname, network, and aliases
  config.vm.define "node", primary: true do |node|
    node.ssh.username = "vagrant"
    node.vm.hostname = "node"
    node.vm.network :private_network, ip: '192.168.42.51'
    node.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 3000, host: 3000

  # SYNC FOLDERS 
  # 
  # node apps should be in /var/app...
  # sync local with vm folders
    node.vm.synced_folder "app/", "/var/app/", type: "nfs"
    node.vm.synced_folder "config/", "/etc/nginx/sites-available/", type: "nfs"

  # set pretty url
    node.hostmanager.aliases = %w(node)

  # SET RESOURCES
  #
  # box must have min 256MB and 25% CPU
  # set provider
    node.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
      vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--cpuexecutioncap", "25"]
      vb.memory = "256"
      vb.cpus = "1"
    end

  # INSTALL NODE, PM2, NGINX
   node.vm.provision "shell", inline: <<-SHELL
    sudo su -
    cd /var/app/
    apt-get install -y vim git curl build-essential openssl libssl-dev pkg-config 
    apt-get install -y software-properties-common python-software-properties
    curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo -E bash -
    apt-get install nodejs
    npm install -g npm@latest
    npm install -g pm2
    pm2 startup systemd
    apt-get install -y nginx 
  SHELL
    
  end

# VAGRANT MESSAGE
  config.vm.post_up_message = "You're ready!"
end

Clean Up

sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get clean

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/EMPTY bs=1M
sudo rm -f /EMPTY
cat /dev/null > ~/.bash_history && history -c && exit

Package Box

vagrant package --output node.box
vagrant destroy

You can either upload the box to Vagrant Cloud or use it locally.

Deploying Node

Use your newly packaged vagrant box with the Vagrantfile below.

ENV['VAGRANT_DEFAULT_PROVIDER'] = 'virtualbox'
Vagrant.require_version ">= 1.6.0"

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.ssh.forward_agent = true

# CONFIGURE HOSTMANAGER
# 
# manage pretty url writing
  config.hostmanager.enabled = true
  config.hostmanager.manage_host = true
  config.hostmanager.manage_guest = true
  config.hostmanager.ignore_private_ip = false
  config.hostmanager.include_offline = true


  # CONFIGURE WEB SERVER (nginx)
  # 
  # set hostname, network, and aliases
    config.vm.define "node", primary: true do |node|
      node.vm.box = "charlle/node"
      node.vm.box_version = "1.0"
      node.ssh.username = "vagrant"
      node.vm.hostname = "node"
      node.vm.network :private_network, ip: '192.168.42.51'
      node.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 1234, host: 1234

    # SYNC FOLDERS

      node.vm.synced_folder "app/", "/var/app/", type: "nfs"
      node.vm.synced_folder "node/config/", "/etc/nginx/sites-available/", type: "nfs"

    # PRETTY URL
    #

      node.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
        vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--cpuexecutioncap", "25"]
        vb.memory = "256"
        vb.cpus = "1"
      end

    # START UP NGINX
    #  
    # restart nginx on guest after up
      node.trigger.after :up do
        run_remote "sudo service nginx restart"
        run_remote "sudo env PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin /usr/lib/node_modules/pm2/bin/pm2 startup systemd -u vagrant --hp /home/vagrant"
        run_remote "sudo pm2 start app.js"
      end
    end
  #
  # END WEB SERVER (nginx)

  config.vm.post_up_message = "You're Node Server is Ready!"
