node.js http server as a Windows service

Question

I created a simple http server in Node.js.

I wanted to make it run permanently on my Windows 2008 machine, so that, if the computer reboots, it automatically restarts.

You could try the package qckwinsvc. First install it globally:

npm install -g qckwinsvc

And then from the cmd:

qckwinsvc
prompt: Service name: [...]
prompt: Service description: [...]
prompt: Node script path: [/path/to/.js file]

To uninstall:

qckwinsvc --uninstall
