# taco-nginx

Bash script that runs a service and forwards a subdomain to it using nginx when it listens to `$PORT`

```

npm install -g taco-nginx

```

We recommend using latest stable nginx (>1.8.0). If you are on Ubuntu LTS for example you may need to do this:

```

add-apt-repository ppa:nginx/stable

apt-get update

apt-get install nginx

```

## Usage

First write a service (in any language) similar to this

``` js

var http = require('http')

var server = http.createServer(function (req, res) {

  console.log('Got request!', req.url)

  res.end('hello world\n')

})

server.listen(process.env.PORT, function () {

  console.log('Server is listening...')

})

```

Assuming the above file is called `server.js` and you have `nginx` running you can now do

``` sh

taco-nginx --name my-service node server.js

```

taco-nginx will now spawn `node server.js`, wait for it to listen to the port specified in

`$PORT` and then have nginx route requests to `my-service.*` to it.

If you don't specify `--name` it will see if you have a `package.json` and use the name field

``` sh

taco-nginx node server.js # uses name from package.json

```

For a full list of options run

```

taco-nginx --help

```
