On a bit of a fact finding mission here. Looking to include node support into what is essentially a linux VPS centric web hosting control panel, and wondered if i could get peoples opinions on what features they would want in order to consider it a compelling node control panel to run Node apps on. The control panel is primarily a PHP or static website management platform designed as an abstraction layer from the server (manages all configs etc)Any suggestions are welcomed, what would your ideal user story or sequence of events be when deploying a new node application on a server?Are there are features which you would like to have in a control panel?With regard to dependencies, I imagine that you might want to run NPM to install a set of packages. How would you normally achieve this? Would you always have a packages.json along side the application, or do you ever install packages manually?The platform already has deployment functionality built in, so you would have the ability to run commands after a roll out.With regards to the port that a Node app runs on, would you always run it on the port that you define in the app itself, or would you ever want it to run on a different port to that?Do you tend to have a Node app running as an entire website/app, or do you ever run a Node app as a small part e.g. a subpage/area of another website?Sorry for the barrage of questions, grateful for any feedback :)
