Tinkr
Tinkr is designed to be a poor-man's PaaS. Together, with the tinkr-cli tool, it is meant to assist in getting new projects from idea stage to deployment in as few steps as possible.
Please Note: this is still a work in progress as I flush out the featureset of both client and server.
Installation
$ npm install tinkr -g
Usage
The module includes a command called tinkrd and can be executed via the command line:
$ tinkrd
But... the cloud!
I've always enjoyed the power, cost efficiency, and general guarantees that come with a dedicated private server. Unfortunately, getting one setup with nginx, sftp, and any other number of required services can be time consuming and frustrating. There's also the cases where I want to make apps for things like my home network, when you might have one or more computers. Tinkr is my solution to both of these problems and more.
Features
- reverse http proxy for hosted projects and project stubs.
- http domain routing.
- project versioning support.
- restful API to manage all operations.
Environment Settings
- TINKR_PORT - port to host the http service (default: 2999).
- TINKR_HOME - folder path where tinkr should store its packages and data files.
