Wheaty
======

JS-Git based application hosting platform

Development Usage

The easiest way to use this is with the wheaty CLI tool. To install this, simply do:

``sh
> npm install -g wheaty
`

Then when you want to test a site, just launch it by git url or path to local bare git repo.

(Hint, the tedit chrome app can edit bare repos on the local hard-disk)

`sh
> wheaty git://github.com/creationix/creationix.com.git
`

Then open your browser to to see the site.

You override the port with the PORT environment variable.
The git branch can be changed with an extra argument.

`sh
> wheaty git://github.com/creationix/blog.git refs/tags/current
`

Production Usage

The wheaty-group tool can be used to create an instant git based PaaS. Most the
creationix.com family of sites are running using this on a Rackspace server.

My production configs were at the time of writing are:

`js
var pathJoin = require('path').join;
var jsRuntime = require('wheaty-js-runtime');
module.exports = {
port: 8002,
user: "tim",
group: "tim",
cacheDir: pathJoin(__dirname, "../git"),
sites: {
"luvit.io": {
url: "git@github.com:luvit/luvit.io.git",
runtimes: { js: jsRuntime },
},
"tedit.creationix.com": {
url: "git@github.com:creationix/tedit.git",
root: "build/web",
runtimes: { js: jsRuntime },
ssl: true,
},
"creationix.com": {
url: "git@github.com:creationix/creationix.com",
runtimes: { js: jsRuntime },
ssl: true,
},
}
};
`

And my play sites are:

`js
var pathJoin = require('path').join;
var jsRuntime = require('wheaty-js-runtime');
module.exports = {
port: 8001,
user: "tim",
group: "tim",
cacheDir: pathJoin(__dirname, "../git"),
sites: {
"dukluv.io": {
url: "git@github.com:creationix/dukluv.git",
root: "www",
runtimes: { js: jsRuntime },
},
"conquest.creationix.com": {
url: "https://github.com/creationix/conquest.git",
runtimes: { js: jsRuntime },
},
"exploder.creationix.com": {
url: "https://github.com/creationix/exploder.git",
runtimes: { js: jsRuntime },
},
"clone-test.creationix.com": {
url: "https://github.com/creationix/clone-test.git",
runtimes: { js: jsRuntime },
},
"creator.creationix.com": {
url: "https://github.com/creationix/creator.git",
root: "www",
runtimes: { js: jsRuntime },
},
"desktop.creationix.com": {
url: "https://github.com/creationix/tedit.git",
ref: "refs/heads/minimal",
root: "build/minimal",
runtimes: { js: jsRuntime },
},
}
};
