NodeJSBlog

This is a project I did to recreate my word press blog using plane node js. If I were to do this again, I would use PHP. NodeJS is great, however, it was a pain to deal with all the asynchronous calls when trying to create a web page in a linear fashion.

If you want to run this project, it requires Mysql, npm, and node to be installed. For deployment I used a Nginx proxy to expose the node application running on port 8000 to port 80. This proxy is necessary because you can't run a node application as port 80 unless you are root, which would be a security vulnerability.

Projects Sites

As I develop more projects I would like an easy way to add and host them on my website without having to create another sub-domain and generate more ssl certs. I simply want the project site to be accessible under https://jrtechs.net/project_name.
