Manage your dev servers from the browser without having to think about ports or commands <3

Quick start

Add your servers commands (need to be done only once)

~/projects/one$ hotel add nodemon
~/projects/two$ hotel add 'serve -p $PORT'

Now, you can access, start and stop your servers from localhost:2000.

As a shortcut, you can also directly go to:

http://localhost:2000/one
http://localhost:2000/two

Works on OS X, Linux and Windows.

Install

npm install -g hotel

If you install hotel using sudo, please run the following command hotel autostart && hotel start to complete installation.

Usage

To add a server

hotel add <cmd> cmd [opts]

# Examples:
hotel add nodemon -o out.log # Set output file
hotel add nodemon -n name    # Set custom name
hotel add nodemon -e ENV     # Save environment variable

To list, start and stop servers go to

http://localhost:2000

To start and access directly your server go to

http://localhost:2000/<app-name>

Other commands

hotel ls           # List servers
hotel rm [name]    # Remove server
hotel start        # Start daemon
hotel stop         # Stop daemon
hotel autostart    # Create autostart script
hotel rm-autostart # Remove autostart script

Port

For hotel to work, your servers need to listen on the PORT environment variable. Here are some examples showing how you can do it from your code or the command-line:

var port = process.env.PORT || 3000
server.listen(port)

hotel add 'cmd -p $PORT'  # OS X, Linux
hotel add "cmd -p %PORT%" # Windows
