Dockmaster is a vhost middleware router for Distribute that uses Seaport to intelligently route requests.

npm tag

Usage

Router

var http = require('http')
  , distribute = require('distribute')
  , seaport = require('seaport')
  , dockmaster = require('dockmaster');
 
// Connect to the Seaport server
var ports = require('seaport').connect(5000);
 
/*
 * Create the httpServer and register it with Seaport. 
 * The noroute attribute passed to seaport will prevent Docmaster routing to its self.
 */
var httpServer = http.createServer().listen(
  ports.register('router', {noroute: true})
);
 
// Wrap the httpServer with distribute
var router = distribute(httpServer);
 
// Use the Dockmaster middleware
router.use(dockmaster(ports));

Applications

For the above router to route to your apps you will need to register your applications with Seaport. As so:

var http = require('http')
  , express = require('express')
  , seaport = require('seaport');
 
// Connect to the Seaport server
var ports = require('seaport').connect(5000);
 
// Create your app and register it with Seaport
var app = express();
app.listen(ports.register('myapp', { domains: ['myapp.domain'] }));

You can also mount applications on paths so you can have multiple applications sharing the same domain.

var app = express();
app.listen(ports.register('myapp', { domains: ['myapp.domain'], mount: '/admin' }));
