Phusion Passenger and METEOR_SETTINGS

help

Damnit, forgot about that. I also run other node apps via passenger on my Mac, and they work fine with 0.12 node. I will use the node binary from meteor and see what happens. Thanks for pointing that out.

That can be used as a per-server-block configuration so you can use it only for your meteor appā€™s configurations and passenger will use the default 0.12 for all your other node apps.

Using the node binary from Meteor with passenger_nodejs worked. Thank you for pointing that out

Anyone tried supplying a path & filename for METEOR_SETTINGS in the passenger_env_var? I never thought about actually pasting JSON into the .confs, lol.

Thereā€™s now native support for Meteor Settings file in Passenger

afaik that has always been the case, but it is only supported for unbundled meteor apps. once youā€™ve run meteor build and deploy using that, you still need to use the environment variable

hi
I am running meteor passenger in bundled mode on ubuntu 16.04.
Everything works great but when I add passenger_env_var METEOR_SETTINGS as shown below my app crashes


    server {
        listen 443;
        server_name xxx.de
        ...
        passenger_env_var MONGO_URL mongodb://localhost:27017/db;
        passenger_env_var METEOR_SETTINGS '{"private": {"MAIL_URL": "smtp://finn@MAILSETTINGS"}}'

    }

with the following error @ systemctl status nginx.service
