Node js как сервис на windows

Windows Services

node-windows has a utility to run Node.js scripts as Windows services. Please note that like all
Windows services, creating one requires administrative privileges. To create a service with
node-windows, prepare a script like:

var Service = require('node-windows').Service;

// Create a new service object
var svc = new Service({
  name:'Hello World',
  description: 'The nodejs.org example web server.',
  script: 'C:\path\to\helloworld.js')
});

// Listen for the "install" event, which indicates the
// process is available as a service.
svc.on('install',function(){
  svc.start();
});

svc.install();

The code above creates a new Service object, providing a pretty name and description.
The script attribute identifies the Node.js script that should run as a service. Upon running
this, the script will be visible from the Windows Services utility.

The Service object emits the following events:

• install — Fired when the script is installed as a service.
• alreadyinstalled — Fired if the script is already known to be a service.
• invalidinstallation — Fired if an installation is detected but missing required files.
• uninstall — Fired when an uninstallation is complete.
• start — Fired when the new service is started.
• stop — Fired when the service is stopped.
• error — Fired in some instances when an error occurs.

In the example above, the script listens for the install event. Since this event
is fired when a service installation is complete, it is safe to start the service.

Services created by node-windows are similar to most other services running on Windows.
They can be started/stopped from the windows service utility, via NET START or NET STOP commands,
or even managed using the sc
utility.

Environment Variables

Sometimes you may want to provide a service with static data, passed in on creation of the service. You can do this by setting environment variables in the service config, as shown below:

var svc = new Service({
  name:'Hello World',
  description: 'The nodejs.org example web server.',
  script: 'C:\path\to\helloworld.js',
  env: {
    name: "HOME",
    value: process.env["USERPROFILE"] // service is now able to access the user who created its' home directory
  }
});

You can also supply an array to set multiple environment variables:

var svc = new Service({
  name:'Hello World',
  description: 'The nodejs.org example web server.',
  script: 'C:\path\to\helloworld.js',
  env: [{
    name: "HOME",
    value: process.env["USERPROFILE"] // service is now able to access the user who created its' home directory
  },
  {
    name: "TEMP",
    value: path.join(process.env["USERPROFILE"],"/temp") // use a temp directory in user's home directory
  }]
});

User Account Attributes

If you need to specify a specific user or particular credentials to manage a service, the following
attributes may be helpful.

The user attribute is an object with three keys: domain,account, and password.
This can be used to identify which user the service library should use to perform system commands.
By default, the domain is set to the local computer name, but it can be overridden with an Active Directory
or LDAP domain. For example:

app.js

var Service = require('node-windows').Service;

// Create a new service object
var svc = new Service({
  name:'Hello World',
  script: require('path').join(__dirname,'helloworld.js')
});

svc.user.domain = 'mydomain.local';
svc.user.account = 'username';
svc.user.password = 'password';
...

Both the account and password must be explicitly defined if you want the service module to
run commands as a specific user. By default, it will run using the user account that launched
the process (i.e. who launched node app.js).

The other attribute is sudo. This attribute has a single property called password. By supplying
this, the service module will attempt to run commands using the user account that launched the
process and the password for that account. This should only be used for accounts with administrative
privileges.

app.js
var Service = require(‘node-windows’).Service;

// Create a new service object
var svc = new Service({
  name:'Hello World',
  script: require('path').join(__dirname,'helloworld.js')
});

svc.sudo.password = 'password';
...

Cleaning Up: Uninstall a Service

Uninstalling a previously created service is syntactically similar to installation.

var Service = require('node-windows').Service;

// Create a new service object
var svc = new Service({
  name:'Hello World',
  script: require('path').join(__dirname,'helloworld.js')
});

// Listen for the "uninstall" event so we know when it's done.
svc.on('uninstall',function(){
  console.log('Uninstall complete.');
  console.log('The service exists: ',svc.exists);
});

// Uninstall the service.
svc.uninstall();

The uninstall process only removes process-specific files. It does NOT delete your Node.js script!

What Makes node-windows Services Unique?

Lots of things!

Long Running Processes & Monitoring:

The built-in service recovery for Windows services is fairly limited and cannot easily be configured
from code. Therefore, node-windows creates a wrapper around the Node.js script. This wrapper
is responsible for restarting a failed service in an intelligent and configurable manner. For example,
if your script crashes due to an unknown error, node-windows will attempt to restart it. By default,
this occurs every second. However; if the script has a fatal flaw that makes it crash repeatedly,
it adds unnecessary overhead to the system. node-windows handles this by increasing the time interval
between restarts and capping the maximum number of restarts.

Smarter Restarts That Won’t Pummel Your Server:

Using the default settings, node-windows adds 25% to the wait interval each time it needs to restart
the script. With the default setting (1 second), the first restart attempt occurs after one second.
The second occurs after 1.25 seconds. The third after 1.56 seconds (1.25 increased by 25%) and so on.
Both the initial wait time and the growth rate are configuration options that can be passed to a new
Service. For example:

var svc = new Service({
  name:'Hello World',
  description: 'The nodejs.org example web server.',
  script: 'C:\path\to\helloworld.js'),
  wait: 2,
  grow: .5
});

In this example, the wait period will start at 2 seconds and increase by 50%. So, the second attempt
would be 3 seconds later while the fourth would be 4.5 seconds later.

Don’t DOS Yourself!

Repetitive recycling could potentially go on forever with a bad script. To handle these situations, node-windows
supports two kinds of caps. Using maxRetries will cap the maximum number of restart attempts. By
default, this is unlimited. Setting it to 3 would tell the process to no longer restart a process
after it has failed 3 times. Another option is maxRestarts, which caps the number of restarts attempted
within 60 seconds. For example, if this is set to 3 (the default) and the process crashes/restarts repeatedly,
node-windows will cease restart attempts after the 3rd cycle in a 60 second window. Both of these
configuration options can be set, just like wait or grow.

Finally, an attribute called abortOnError can be set to true if you want your script to not restart
at all when it exits with an error.

How Services Are Made

node-windows uses the winsw utility to create a unique .exe
for each Node.js script deployed as a service. A directory called daemon is created and populated
with myappname.exe and myappname.xml. The XML file is a configuration for the executable. Additionally,
winsw will create some logs for itself in this directory (which are viewable in the Event log).

The myappname.exe file launches the node-windows wrapper, which is responsible for monitoring and managing
the script. Since this file is a part of node-windows, moving the node-windows directory could result in
the .exe file not being able to find the Node.js script. However; this should not be a problem if
node-windows is installed globally, per the recommended installation instructions.

All of these daemon-specific files are created in a subdirectory called daemon, which is created in the
same directory where the Node.js script is saved. Uninstalling a service will remove these files.

Event Logging

Services created with node-windows have two event logs that can be viewed through the Windows Event Viewer.
A log source named myappname.exe provides basic logging for the executable file. It can be used to see
when the entire service starts/stops or has errors. A second log, named after your service name (i.e. My App Name),
is used by the node-windows monitor. It is possible to write to this log from the Node.js script using
the node-windows Event Logging.

Event Logging

New as of v0.1.0 is a non-C++ based event logging utility. This utility can write to the event log,
making your logs visible from the Event Viewer.

To create a logger:

var EventLogger = require('node-windows').EventLogger;

var log = new EventLogger('Hello World');

log.info('Basic information.');
log.warn('Watch out!');
log.error('Something went wrong.');

Looks similar to:

Some lesser-used options are also available through node-windows event logging.

log.auditSuccess('AUser Login Success');
log.auditFailure('AUser Login Failure');

Each log type (info, warn, error, auditSuccess, and auditFailure) method optionally accepts two additional
arguments, including a code and callback. By default, the event code is 1000 if not otherwise specified.
To provide a custom event code with a log message and write that message to the console, the following code could
be used:

log.info('Something different happened!', 1002, function(){
  console.log('Something different happened!');
});

By default, event logs are all part of the APPLICATION scope. However; it is also possible to use the SYSTEM log.
To do this, a configuration object must be passed to the new log:

var EventLogger = require('node-windows').EventLogger;
var log = new EventLogger({
  source: 'My Event Log',
  eventLog: 'SYSTEM'
});
