My question is about running HTTP-server in combination with PM2.
The problem I face is that:
-g
option.So I tried the following (note the double dash which should pass the parameters to the HTTP-server script:
/node_modules/http-server/lib$ pm2 start http-server.js -- /home/unixuser/websiteroot -p8686
But it doesn't work.
I also tried:
http-server /home/unixuser/websiteroot -p8686
Which does work, but doesn't have the great support of pm2 ?
Any suggestions would be great, thanks!
PM2. PM2 is a production process manager for Node. js applications, that has a built-in load balancer. PM2 allows you to keep applications alive forever and reload them without downtime, and will facilitate common system admin tasks.
According to the StackShare community, PM2 has a broader approval, being mentioned in 74 company stacks & 107 developers stacks; compared to forever, which is listed in 3 company stacks and 3 developer stacks.
You almost had it.
Check where http-server is located by executing:
$ which http-server
You should get something like this /usr/bin/http-server
Then cd
to the directory you want to serve files from and execute:
$ pm2 start /usr/bin/http-server --name my-file-server -- -p 8080 -d false
--name my-file-server
is optional, but --
is required to pass arguments through to the http-server
command.
pm2 start <location>/http-server --name http-server -- -p <port> -d false
or
PM2 modules it self has in-build static file to be served, which is similar to http-server https://pm2.keymetrics.io/docs/usage/expose/
pm2 serve <path> <port>
