EWD node.js versus apache.

[Ignacio Valdes]

Hi Rob and list,

I am getting ready to re-roll an Astronaut distribution with ewd-for-astro. For those of you who don't know, Astronaut is a yum/apt-get VistA distribution (and a VistA  implementation/development company with the same name). It has as much automagic installation of a working distribution done as possible. It includes a one command ewd installer which drastically reduces the difficulty of getting a working EWD running, standardizes the VistA/EWD layout and provides a coherent vehicle for distributing VistA/EWD applications for yum/apt-get linux distribution. Finally, it  easily and flexibly allows migration and modalities such as the cloud and virtual machines.

Currently ewd-for-astro is apache oriented. I have not looked at all at the node.js only type of installation. I probably will have to make substantial (and laborious) changes to the ewd-for-astro installer to achieve a node only installer.

Fundamental questions for me to ponder are:

1) Is a node-only ewd-for-astro installer the way to go?
2) Are there any negatives for a node-only EWD?
3) Is there any reason to keep an apache oriented installer for this?

Subtext is that a apache-oriented yum/apt-get installer was difficult to achieve but now currently works. Rework would probably take a considerable amount of my currently not directly paid time.

I think this is an importand Question, and should have an Answer by list members who can answer it ...

Sorry for top post.

I think that given the state of flux with nodejs, you'll find the slower

moving apache easier to script. YMMV.  (Good luck and all that!)
