Experimenting with nginx & NodeJS - Part 1

If you have been using NodeJS and Raspberry Pi for any length of time, you will continue to hear how you need to have nginx to maximize multi core capabilities. Since I have a Raspberry Pi 2B dedicated strictly to trying new experiences I am going to play around with nginx and NodeJS.

The Setup


I have created a new user named "www" to contain all the files I will be experimenting with.
#!/bin/bash # Create User sudo adduser www # Give user root permisions sudo usermod -G sudo www

I created a small script to simplify installing the newest version of NodeJS.
updated: October 7th, 2016     "New download url"
#!/bin/bash curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | bash - apt-get install -y nodejs

I also created a small script to simplify installing nginx
#!/bin/bash # Update APT-GET sudo apt-get update # Install nginx sudo apt-get install nginx # Start nginx sudo service nginx start # Create symbolic links sudo ln -s /etc/nginx ./nginx

Do not forget to chmod +x ScriptName.sh
