I'm trying to package and deploy my Atlasboard dashboard via IBM BlueMix.
How do I package atlasboard and include the global dependencies as local?
How do I start the board as the usual "atlasboard start" won't work any more as there is no global dependency for this?
After packing dependencies as local rather than global discovered that bluemix requires node applications to start on a specific port which is specified in an envrionment variable, my solution was to add this to package.json:
"dependencies":{
"atlasboard": "^0.13.0"
},
"scripts":{
"start":"node start"
}
And this to start.js:
var atlasboard = require('atlasboard');
var port = process.env.VCAP_APP_PORT || 3000
atlasboard({port: port}, function (err) {
if (err) {
throw err;
}
});
