Cloudlinux Node.js Selector Beta 2: Overview & Requirements

[Inga Vakulenko]

I am very happy about the latest release of Node.js Selector and the positive feedbacks we’ve had so far. We only released it last Monday but have already prepared for you some improvements with this new Beta! So let’s get to a more detailed description of the functions and requirements of the Node.js Selector proposed by CloudLinux.

One of the key elements that may catch the eye of a user is the ability to create Node.js applications by making two simple steps: (a) choose the version of Node.js that works for you and (b) set parameters in accordance with the users’ needs. Yes, that’s it!

Requirements

While the Node.js Selector is compatible with CloudLinux 6, CloudLinux 6 Hybrid, and CloudLinux 7, it also supports Node.js versions 6.x, 8.x, 9.x and later.
One thing you will also have to make sure to install is LVE Manager 4.0-7 (or later).

For now, the Node.js Selector can be installed to support cPanel servers.
For more details about mod_passenger and Node.js, please read documentation here and here.

If you are interested in improved security functions, we recommend you installing CageFS (but you are not obliged to do it).

To update, please run the following command:

yum update lvemanager --enablerepo=cloudlinux-updates-testing
