Running Maki in Production
How to run a Maki-built app in a production environment.

Recommended Deployment

I use pm2 (npm install pm2 -g) to manage node apps in production, and I strongly recommend you do, too. It's got awesome features like log management, process clustering, and automatic startup scripts.

For Maki by itself, pm2 start maki.js will produce the following:

> pm2 start maki.js
PM2 Process launched
┌──────────┬────┬─────────┬───────┬────────┬───────────┬────────┬─────────────┬─────────────┐
│ App name │ id │ mode    │ PID   │ status │ restarted │ uptime │      memory │    watching │
├──────────┼────┼─────────┼───────┼────────┼───────────┼────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┤
│ maki     │ 0  │ cluster │ 93966 │ online │         0 │ 0s     │ 25.652 MB   │ unactivated │
└──────────┴────┴─────────┴───────┴────────┴───────────┴────────┴─────────────┴─────────────┘
 Use `pm2 desc[ribe] <id>` to get more details

You can check on running processes using pm2 ls. For example, on a server with multiple running services:

> pm2 ls

For production monitoring, see also pm2 monit, vtop (available via npm install vtop -g), and StrongLoop.

Use environment variables for configuration. See config/index.js for a list of configurable values.
