Juggernaut environment config

Question

I'm trying to figure out how to run Juggernaut server in production – assuming that I would be able to configure different ports for the server in the development and production environment, because I can't control the port in my production environment. And also assuming that the server would be to start in "detached" mode?

Any advice much appreciated.

Looking at the process further I realize that since the server needs to be started up with a config file specified, I can just have different config files for different environments. The only question remains, if the server needs to be started up in a "detached" mode or how that works... – Smithson

Just found some Capistrano recipes that look like they will probably answer my question: github.com/nesquena/cap-recipes – Smithson

just to mention that Juggernaut has been deprecated see blog.alexmaccaw.com/killing-a-library – Abagael

Answer 1

Just in case you are planning to continue using Juggernaut despite deprecation, getting it up and running is fairly straightforward - you can just use the instructions on the github page using npm and they work pretty well. The Juggernaut CLI script lets you configure a port, so no problem there either.
