RUtils Backend Dev Note

Because TypeScript can complicate things, run the backend using this:

pm2 start npm --name=rutils -- run start

For Production

pm2 start npm --name=rutilsprod -- run prod

For Remote Dev

pm2 start npm --name=rutilsdev -- run dev

Notes

We use a separate models folder to house all interfaces that will also be used as objects in the database.

Cron in .env

To use Cron, you put your crontab in the .env file, with each space replaced with a plus sign. An example:

*/30 * * * * = */30+*+*+*+*

For RasPi

Raspberry Pis run on ARM, so here's how I get RUtils to run on RPi:

• Node 14
• Add Python 2 to PYTHON
  • echo "export PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2" >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc
• npm i and if you've already tried building node-gyp, then npm rebuild node-gyp

There will be a required machines.ts file to run this program.
