How to proxy web apps using nginx?

Virtual Hosts on nginx (CSC309)

When hosting our web applications, we often have one public IP address (i.e., an IP address visible to the outside world) using which we want to host multiple web apps. For example, one may wants to host three different web apps respectively for example1.com, example2.com, and example1.com/images on the same machine using a single IP address.

How can we do that? Well, the good news is Internet browsers

A list of the most common functionalities in Jekyll (Liquid). You can use Jekyll with GitHub Pages, just make sure you are using the proper version.

Running

Running a local server for testing purposes:

# Creates an alias called "git hist" that outputs a nicely formatted git log.
# Usage is just like "git log"
# Examples:
# git hist
# git hist -5
# git hist <branch_name>
# git hist <tag_name> -10
##
git config --global alias.hist "log --pretty=format:'%C(yellow)[%ad]%C(reset) %C(green)[%h]%C(reset) | %C(red)%s %C(bold red){{%an}}%C(reset) %C(blue)%d%C(reset)' --graph --date=short"

Better local require() paths for Node.js

Better local require() paths for Node.js

Problem

When the directory structure of your Node.js application (not library!) has some depth, you end up with a lot of annoying relative paths in your require calls like:

const Article = require('../../../../app/models/article');

Those suck for maintenance and they're ugly.

Possible solutions

Tips for getting involved in the standards process

This gist is meant to help me compile "tips" for getting involved in the standards process. It will be used as a source of material for a talk I'm giving at LXJS in a couple days. The tips are meant to be somewhat tactical, i.e. provide concrete advice for first-timers, and not general sweeping statements about how standards bodies work in the abstract.

If you have any additional tips, please leave them in a comment or email them to me at [email protected], and they'll hopefully make it into my presentation.

The Tips

Lurk First

As with all new communities you're joining, you'll get better results if you lurk first, both in IRC and on the relevant mailing lists. You'll get to know who's active in what area; what kind of topics are on the group's radar; which issues are contentious; and even basic stuff like how to write emails (prefer plain text, never top-quote).
