问题
I have 10 NodeJS servers running on 10 separate machines.
They are running with Forever, which keeps them up if they crash, and restarts them if a file changes.
I would like to restart them by clicking on a button in an HTML page. Because nodeJS isn't open to the external world, but only accessible from within the machines, I would like to use a PHP script as a "bridge" between the external world and Node. The button would send a POST request to a PHP script, which could then in some way tell Forever to restart the NodeJS process.
First question, do I need to have a PHP script on each server, and to ask each one of those scripts to restart NodeJS on its own machine ? Or can I have one server with a PHP script which could in someway notify all the servers (I know their local IPs of course) to restart their NodeJS processes ?
I thought about doing this by sending process signals, but of course I cannot do that over a network.
What do you think ?
回答1:
I ended up using the Watch option in Forever which listens for file changes in the folder. The restart button updates a "timestamp" file, which causes forever to restart. Because of NFS replication, this is propagated to all the machines. Not the best solution I guess, it works, but I would gladly do something better
