derby-starter

A generic server for use with Derby apps. This is intended as an example and for quick demos. For production servers, you'll want to specifically configure the server for your use case rather than requiring this module.

derby-starter's Issues

Npm install error

True, derby@^0.6.0 not in valid install targets list.

Support for RedisCloud config variable - Heroku free tier eligible

Right now redis config var can be read from OpenRedis (OPENREDIS_URL) config, yet it does not have free tier at the moment.

Please add possibility to read redis config var for RedisCloud (REDISCLOUD_URL). It has free tier and can be used for Heroku deployments of the sample apps.

Redis client is not configured correctly for session store

Derby store is correctly configured with redis settings with

var redisClient;
  if (process.env.REDIS_HOST) {
    redisClient = redis.createClient(process.env.REDIS_PORT, process.env.REDIS_HOST);
    redisClient.auth(process.env.REDIS_PASSWORD);
  } else if (process.env.OPENREDIS_URL) {
    var redisUrl = parseUrl(process.env.OPENREDIS_URL);
    redisClient = redis.createClient(redisUrl.port, redisUrl.hostname);
    redisClient.auth(redisUrl.auth.split(":")[1]);
  } else {
    redisClient = redis.createClient();
  }

Yet session store uses different code

store: new RedisStore({
        host: process.env.REDIS_HOST || "localhost",
        port: process.env.REDIS_PORT || 6379
    })

hence app fails to start when using non-default settings for redis.

Update deps version

Some of the dependencies in package.json are old. The specific issue I ran into is that hiredis resulted in build errors when using Node.js 4.1.2. The build works find with a newer version of hiredis.

Does it makes sense to update the dependencies and then submit a PR?

Could you please clear dependency list

There are a lots of unnecessary packages in package.json. Could you clear it. I have a problem with hiredis installarion in my Windows system. But it is not even required. Please remove it or move to optionalDependencies block (it's a good practic).

Thank you!
