multi-domain-static-server v1.1.2

multi-domain-static-server

A simple http server designed to serve static websites for multiple domains

This project is designed to make serving static HTML/CSS/JS websites for multiple domains easy. Whenever it receives an HTTP request, it uses the request hostname to determine which content to serve, then checks for the presence of a folder with the same name in it's content directory. This enables you to point multiple domains at the same server and manage static websites just by populating your website directory with folders for each domain.

For example, say the domain mygreatwebsite.com is pointed at the IP of a machine runing multi-domain-static-server. When the server receives an HTTP request, it would check for the presense of the folder mygreatwebsite.com in the folder defined in the DIRECTORY env, which defaults to /var/www/html.

This request:

HTTP GET mygreatwebsite.com/test.html

-will be served the file at-

/var/wwww/html/mygreatwebsite.com/test.html

If that doesn't exist, the server will return a 404.

Install

$ npm install multi-domain-static-server

Usage

$ npm run start

A pm2 ecosystem file is also included. To run as a daemon, install pm2 and run:

$ pm2 start ecosystem.config.js

You may also use multi-domain-static-server as a dependency in your project.
