NODEGINX Build Status

nodeginx is a node.js module to create a Nginx configuration file for your nodejs application.

The package generates a file for /etc/nginx/sites-available.

It makes Ngnix as proxy for static content with Node.js website or webapp.

Keynote

The idea is to use Nginx server to prevent unnecessary traffic for node.js websites and webapps. And also to serve static content.

Installation

You can install nodeginx and its dependencies with npm:

npm install nodeginx -g for a global installation (for example)

Usage

To generate the configuration file from the command line, use following options:

	$ nodeginx --help
	usage: nodeginx [options]

	Generate the Nginx configuration file as proxy for Node.js

	options:
		-o, --outputfile 	<OUTPUTFILE>	File name or path for configuration file
		-p, --port			<PORT>			Listen port for connections
		-r, --rootdir		<ROOT>			Root path for (public) static content
		-s, --servername	<SERVERNAME>  	Server name			
		-u, --upstream		<UPSTREAM>		Upstream name value						
		-c, --config		[CONFIG] 		Generate Nginx http section configuration						
		-w, --withoutwww	[WITHOUTWWW]	Redirect www to non-www
	Error:
	Cannot generate Nginx conf file: no options defined.

In order to use the configuration file, be sure to update Nginx http section with following values:

	http {
	    proxy_cache_path  /var/cache/nginx levels=1:2 keys_zone=one:8m max_size=3000m inactive=600m;
	    proxy_temp_path /var/tmp;
	    include       mime.types;
	    default_type  application/octet-stream;
	    sendfile        on;
	    keepalive_timeout  65;
	 
	    gzip on;
	    gzip_comp_level 6;
	    gzip_vary on;
	    gzip_min_length  1000;
	    gzip_proxied any;
	    gzip_types text/plain text/html text/css application/json application/x-javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript;
	    gzip_buffers 16 8k;
	}

Running tests

To run the tests under node you will need mocha and should installed (it's listed as a devDependencies so npm install from the checkout should be enough), then do

$ npm test
