Registration agent for Difio, preconfigured for dotCloud / Node.js applications.
It compiles a list of installed packages and sends it to http://www.dif.io.
Installing on your dotCloud node.js application
-
Create an account at http://www.dif.io
-
Create your Node.js application and push it to dotCloud
-
Configure your Difio userID. You can get it from https://difio-otb.rhcloud.com/profiles/mine/
dotcloud var set <app name> DIFIO_USER_ID=UserID
-
Generate a unique identifier for this application and save the value as environmental variable.
dotcloud var set <app name> DIFIO_UUID=`uuidgen`
-
Add a dependency in your application's package.json file
... "dependencies": { ... "difio-dotcloud-nodejs": "" }, ...
-
Execute the registration script in your postinstall hook. Note: If you are using an "approot" your
postinstall
script should be in the directory pointed by the “approot” directive of yourdotcloud.yml
. For more information aboutpostinstall
turn to dotCloud documentation.
If a file named postinstall
doesn't already exist, create it and add the following:
#!/bin/sh
`npm bin`/difio-dotcloud
-
Make
postinstall
executablechmod a+x postinstall
-
Commit your changes (if using git):
git add . git commit -m "enable Difio registration"
-
Push your application
dotcloud push <app name>
-
If everything goes well you should see something like:
19:55:10 [www.0] Running postinstall script... 19:55:13 [www.0] response:200 19:55:13 [www.0] Difio: Success, registered/updated application with uuid 25d23384-46a8-48ce-83b0-01f4fa4c5987
Note: While testing the registration code we found out that the Node.js application in dotCloud may not be accessible via http immediately. During that time registration to Difio may fail! If this happens your application will register the next time you push to dotCloud!
