This is a simple shell script that is designed to provision both nginx and node on your machine. I primarily wrote it for use with Vagrant and an example Vagrantfile is included in the Gist as well.

The following is an "oh noes, where's my Internet" guide to surviving as a coder with no or limited Internet. Primarily the guide is focused on those who will be doing JS development (and using npm as a package manager) but some of the advice is useful for other environments also.

Step 1. Clone all things

Tooling in this steps require that you have git installed, and use github for your repositories.

One thing I really like to do when I get a bit of time offline, is clean up an old repository that I once thought was useful. I rarely know about what project this might be in advance. As a result, I like to clone all the things from my personal github account.

To do this I recommend using multirepo, which is best installed (at the moment) like so:

one liners

Getting a list of commits (in a relatively useful short form) since a branch diverged from master:

git log --format="%h %an: %s" $(git merge-base release-name master)..

All the modified files on the current branch since forking from master. To see the content of the changes, remove the --name-only flag.

An nginx configuration that can be added to your /etc/nginx/sites-enabled directory to proxy from the local nginx server through to other servers running on other ports. Primarily this is useful when you want to view a site using HTTPS but don't want to associate the certificate with that local server.

The following proxys work:

http://localhost/ => http://localhost:9966/
https://localhost/ => http://localhost:9966/

https://localhost/<port>/ => http://localhost:<port>/
https://localhost/<port>/ => http://localhost:<port>/

// enable logging to the requirebin output area
const console = require('demo-console');

const { detect } = require('detect-browser');
const browser = detect();

// handle the case where we don't detect the browser

        // if the last arg is a socket connection, then don't send it to the serve
        // because we got it from the server...

Coding

Reason / OCaml / js_of_ocaml

Play around with a simple implementation of Reason + js_of_ocaml which draws to the browser canvas. Would be interesting to see if a simple game engine was possible.
