# Heroku Buildpack: NGINX + NODE.JS

Nginx-buildpack vendors NGINX inside a dyno and connects NGINX to an app server Node.js (no via UNIX domain sockets for now).

## Motivation

Read https://github.com/ryandotsmith/nginx-buildpack.git

## Versions

* Buildpack Version: 0.4
* NGINX Version: 1.5.7

## Requirements

* ? [Your webserver listens to the socket at `/tmp/nginx.socket`.]
* You touch `/tmp/app-initialized` when you are ready for traffic.
* ? [You can start your web server with a shell command.]

## Features

* Unified NXNG/App Server logs.
* [L2met](https://github.com/ryandotsmith/l2met) friendly NGINX log format.
* [Heroku request ids](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/http-request-id) embedded in NGINX logs.
* Crashes dyno if NGINX or App server crashes. Safety first.
* Language/App Server agnostic.
* Customizable NGINX config.
* Application coordinated dyno starts.

## Setup

Example: the app exists already.

**Create App**

$ cd workspace/appName  
add fs.openSync('/tmp/app-initialized', 'w'); in app.js  
$ git init  
$ git add .  
$ git commit -m "init"  
$ heroku create (git remote -v)	  
$ heroku apps:rename newAppName  
$ git push heroku master (source: https://git.heroku.com/newAppName.git) or $ git push (source: bitbucket)  
$ heroku open  
$ heroku logs --tail | grep -ve "method=HEAD"  

**Nginx & Node.js**

$ heroku config:set BUILDPACK_URL=https://github.com/ddollar/heroku-buildpack-multi.git  
$ echo 'https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-nodejs.git' >> .buildpacks  
$ echo 'https://github.com/Gionni/nginx-buildpack.git' >> .buildpacks  
Remember, you gotta work nginx.conf.erb out, first...  
Update Procfile: web: bin/start-nginx ./node_modules/.bin/forever app.js  
$ git add .  
$ git commit -m 'Add multi-buildpack + Update procfile for NGINX buildpack'  
$ git push heroku master or $ git push  

P.S. Getting back: heroku config:unset BUILDPACK_URL, remove .buildpacks, remove Procfile, remove Heroku PORT
