hotel

Start, stop and access your local servers from the browser <3

Install

npm install -g hotel

Add your servers commands (need to be done only once, -e option can be omitted if you're not using a version manager like nvm)

~/express$ hotel add nodemon -e PATH
~/static$ hotel add 'serve -p $PORT' -e PATH

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

As a shortcut, you can also directly go to localhost:2000/<name> to start and access a server.

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    # Create 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)

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