问题
In the past couple of years NodeJS became a major player in the server landscape - and I really find it hard to believe that there is no decent way to have nodejs run as a service on a linux box. On Windows we have iisnode - but for non Windows environments the forever package is suggested as the way to go - instead of a real solution.
Is there maybe a servicized version of nodejs out there that I could not locate?
回答1:
There isn't a "servicized" version of Node.js available in the sense you are thinking. Keeping your Node application running (for example in the event of a fatal error) is up to you entirely.
As suggested in the first comment, this is fairly subjective, but really there are two big packages (and one or two alternative methods) for making a service out of your Node application. As you've mentioned, forever is a popular choice. If you've never taken a look at pm2, I suggest doing so, as it offers some services that forever does not. Alternatively, you could search for information on supervisord, which I've had success with in the past. Finally, daemonizing Node with upstart is something to look at if the others don't fit well for you.
