spine-example-node

This repo contains an example application designed to run on Spine, built with Node.js and Express 4.

Deploying to Spine

Once you've created a Spine account, be certain that you've installed the Spine CLI.

After installing the CLI, you can bring this application up with a single command:

$ spine deploy

To access your new application, ask Spine for your user info and note the subdomain:

$ spine user info
email: phil@collins.com
name: philcollins
docker_hub_username: philcollins
subdomain: demo

You can now access your application here:

http://example-<subdomain>.spi.ne

Running Locally

First, be certain that you've installed Node.js using the instructions on their site.

Once you've done so, you can run this application locally with the following commands:

$ git clone https://github.com/getspine/spine-example-node
$ cd spine-example-node
$ npm install
$ npm start

Building a Docker Container

If you'd like to modify your running container, you'll need to build and push a new image to the Docker Hub.

If you haven't already installed Docker, you can obtain it right here.

Once Docker is installed, be certain that you're logged in:

$ docker login

After you've successfully logged in, you can build and push your image with the following commands:

$ export DOCKER_ID_USER="your_docker_username"
$ docker build -t ${DOCKER_ID_USER}/example .
$ docker push ${DOCKER_ID_USER}/example

Please note: you'll need to change the image field within your Backbone file to point to the image name you pushed up.
