Make sure that local-tld got installed correctly

$ NODE_PATH=`npm root -g`
$ open $NODE_PATH/local-tld

Make sure that paths have been set correctly

$ echo $NODE_PATH
$ cat ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ie.hood.local-tld-service.plist

In some situations, you may need to manually update ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ie.hood.local-tld-service.plist to correctly source your Node installation, particularly if you are using a Node version manager, such as nvm.

Check the output of $ cat ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ie.hood.local-tld-service.plist for the following:

<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
    <string>should equal the output of `$ which node`</string>
    <string>should equal the output of `$ echo $NODE_PATH` + /local-tld/bin/local-tld-service</string>
</array>

If these values aren't correct, you'll need to open ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ie.hood.local-tld-service.plist in a text editor and update the file with the aforementioned values.

If things do not work, try:

$ launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ie.hood.local-tld-service.plist
$ launchctl load -Fw ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ie.hood.local-tld-service.plist

If things STILL don't work, try that (but don't tell Jan) ((I saw this! — Jan))

$ sudo $NODE_PATH/local-tld/bin/local-tld-troubleshoot

Vhosts

If you find Hoodie interfering with your vhosts, here's a temporary workaround:

To get your vhosts back: $ sudo ipfw flush

To get local-tld back: $ npm install -g local-tld

To find out which state you're in: $ sudo ipfw list If this includes something like "00100 fwd 127.0.0.1,5999 tcp from any to me dst-port 80 in", local-tld is currently running and might be blocking your vhosts.

You need a Nodejitsu account and the jitsu tool installed.

Create a new hoodie app:

$ hoodie new myapp

Start app locally:

$ cd myapp
$ hoodie start

Create a database:

$ jitsu database create couch myapp

This prints out the URL for your database, something like:

http://nodejitsudb123456789.iriscouch.com:5984

Go to:

http://nodejitsudb123456789.iriscouch.com:5984/_utils

In the bottom right, click on "Fix This". Create a new user with the username admin and a password of your choice. Remember the password.

Create the Nodejitsu app.

$ jitsu apps create

Set your database URL as an environment variable:

$ jitsu env set COUCH_URL http://nodejitsudb1234567890.iriscouch.com:5984
$ jitsu env set HOODIE_ADMIN_USER admin
$ jitsu env set HOODIE_ADMIN_PASS <yourpassword>

<yourpassword> is the one you set up two steps ago.

Deploy!

$ jitsu deploy

(wait a minute)

Go to: http://myapp.jit.su

Boom.

$ hoodie new myapp
$ cd myapp
$ hoodie start

$ hoodie remote add nodejitsu
 - jitsu login
 - jitsu database create couch myapp
     - setup couchdb admin
 - jitsu apps create
 - jitsu env set COUCH_URL http://...
 - jitsu env set COUCH_PASS <secret>

$ hoodie deploy
 - jitsu deploy
