Running redis using upstart on Ubuntu

I've been trying to understand how to setup systems from the ground up on Ubuntu. I just installed redis onto the box and here's how I did it and some things to look out for.

To install:

The idea is to have nginx installed and node installed. I will extend this gist to include how to install those as well, but at the moment, the following assumes you have nginx 0.7.62 and node 0.2.3 installed on a Linux distro (I used Ubuntu).

In a nutshell,

nginx is used to serve static files (css, js, images, etc.)
node serves all the "dynamic" stuff.

So for example, www.foo.com request comes and your css, js, and images get served thru nginx while everything else (the request for say index.html or "/") gets served through node.

nginx listens on port 80.

	# Note on units: when memory size is needed, it is possible to specifiy
	# it in the usual form of 1k 5GB 4M and so forth:
	#
	# 1k => 1000 bytes
	# 1kb => 1024 bytes
	# 1m => 1000000 bytes
	# 1mb => 1024*1024 bytes
	# 1g => 1000000000 bytes

	express = require("express")
	request = require("request")
	BufferList = require("bufferlist").BufferList
	app = express.createServer(express.logger(), express.bodyParser())
	app.get "/", (req, res) ->
	if req.param("url")
	url = unescape(req.param("url"))
	request
	uri: url
	encoding: 'binary'
