Install

npm install -g hotel

Add your servers (need to be done only once)

~/node-app$ hotel add nodemon
~/html-app$ hotel add 'serve -p $PORT'

if you're using nvm or similar, add -e PATH (i.e. hotel add nodemon -e PATH).

Start hotel

~$ hotel start
~$ hotel autostart # Create an autostart script (recommended)

Relax

Your servers can now be accessed, started and stopped from localhost:2000.

No need to open a terminal (works on OS X, Linux and Windows).

Usage

To add a server

hotel add <cmd> cmd [opts]

# Examples:
hotel add nodemon -o out.log # Set output file
hotel add nodemon -n name    # Set custom name
hotel add nodemon -e PATH    # Save current environment variable
                             # (use it with version managers)

To list, start and stop servers go to

http://localhost:2000

To start and access directly your server go to

http://localhost:2000/<app-name>

Other commands

hotel ls           # List servers
hotel rm [name]    # Remove server
hotel start        # Start daemon
hotel stop         # Stop daemon
hotel autostart    # Add autostart script
hotel rm-autostart # Remove autostart script

Port variable

For hotel to work, your servers need to listen on the PORT environment variable. Here are some examples showing how you can do it from your code or the command-line:

var port = process.env.PORT || 3000
server.listen(port)

# OS X, Linux
hotel add 'cmd -p $PORT'

# Windows
hotel add "cmd -p %PORT"
