Installation from git

To install this project from git, you will have to run the following command :

$ git clone https://github.com/gatejs/core.git gate
$ cd gate
$ npm install

If you downloaded the zip from github, you will have to fetch the submodules yourself.

Running gatejs

You can use the forever process manager to run and control gatejs.

mkdir /var/log/gatejs
forever -a -o /var/log/gatejs/forever.log -e /var/log/gatejs/forever-error.log start --uid gatejs --max_old_space_size=150 /usr/bin/gatejs --config=/etc/gatejs/config.js

You can also run the command at the reboot time using cron!

Add the following lines when editing crontab (crontab -e):

@reboot forever -a -o /var/log/gatejs/forever.log -e /var/log/gatejs/forever-error.log start --uid gatejs --max_old_space_size=150 /usr/bin/gatejs --config=/etc/gatejs/config.js

--max_old_space_size=150 allows to control the V8 garbage collector which is set to 150MB.

Debian packages

apt-get install gcc make g++ python

Forward proxy configuration example

var serverConfig = function(bs) { return({
    serverProcess: 4,
    hostname: "testServer0",
    runDir: "/var/run/gatejs",
    dataDir: "/home/gatejs-data",
    logDir: "/var/log/gatejs",
    confDir: '/etc/gatejs',

    http: {
        forwardInterface: {
            type: 'forward',
            port: 80,
            pipeline: 'pipetest'
        }
    },

    pipeline: {
        pipetest: [
            ['cache', { }],
            ['proxyPass', { mode: 'host', timeout: 10 }]
        ],
    }

})};

module.exports = serverConfig;
