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

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 with any server.

npm install -g hotel && hotel start

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

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

~/.hotel contains daemon log, servers and daemon configurations.

~/.hotel/conf.json
~/.hotel/daemon.log
~/.hotel/servers/<app-name>.json
