762771 - more robust server setup

Status: RESOLVED INACTIVE

(Mozilla Labs :: Doctor JS, defect)

Description

[Dave Herman [:dherman]]

In bug 747183 :gozer pointed out how **** and brittle the DoctorJS server setup is. It's running on an ancient Node, too. I should update the installation to use a more modern setup, probably running with `forever`.

Hey, we use Node for Persona/BrowserId -- could we just get infra to do whatever they do for Persona, for DoctorJS? Saves Dave from playing sysadmin on TV (at home, at night!).

We do run Node apps in svcops, the question is whether you want us to run something like DoctorJS, cause we're kind of "assholes by design" in terms of what we expect from the engineer/team.

See: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Services/Principles

Sounds like this is a single node app, no external service deps (DBs, etc) and wouldn't have any HA requirements.  I'll raise it in my cross-team EngOps meeting tomorrow and see what WebOps' timeline is for supporting node apps.

If it's a ways out, there are some alternatives we can discuss.
