Deploying a node app with Forever is great...until your server restarts unexpectedly. Then your app stops running and you have to re-deploy.

To get around this, we're going to run our node app as an Upstart service. Upstart services are great, because, once started, the system auto-restarts them if they fail, or if the server restarts.

###Step 1: Create a service for your node app

• ssh in as root ssh root@youripaddress
• Create a node-app.conf file in /etc/init
  IMPORTANT: whatever filename you pick is what you will use to start|stop|restart your service i.e. service node-app start

(wherever it says url.com, use your server's domain or IP)

Login to new server as root, then add a deploy user

sudo useradd --create-home -s /bin/bash deploy
sudo adduser deploy sudo
sudo passwd deploy

And Update the new password

Here's all you have to do to add clustering to your node.js application.

• save this code as cluster.js, and run cluster.js instead of server.js (or /bin/www, or whatever it's called for your project)
• the only line you'll need to change is the last line - it needs to point to the location of your server.js file

var cluster = require('cluster');

if (cluster.isMaster) {
  // Count the machine's CPUs
 var cpuCount = require('os').cpus().length;

##Setup your server (this would ideally be done with automated provisioning)

• add a deploy user with password-less ssh see this gist
• install forever npm install -g forever

##Install flightplan

• npm install -g flightplan
• in your project folder npm install flightplan --save-dev
• create a flightplan.js file

##what are generators##

• They're pausable functions, pausable iterable functions, to be more precise
• They're defined with the *
• every time you yield a value, the function pauses until .next(modifiedYieldValue) is called

var myGen = function*() {
  var one = yield 1;
  var two = yield 2;
  var three = yield 3;
 console.log(one, two, three);

###SSH into a remote machine###

ssh user@mydomain.com
#or by ip address
ssh user@192.168.1.1

exit: exit ###Install Something###

#If it's a new server, update apt-get first thing
