Running idrop.link on a web server

Starting the app

Depending on your MongoDB setup, you have to pass the path to the MongoDB installation to the app.

• If you have MongoDB running in the default configuration (writable for all at localhost:21017) you don't have to do anything. You can just start the app via node . or node index.
• If you have restricted access and created a user, or you use a hosted MongoDB like MongoLab, you have to provide the path like this: env $MONGODB_URI='<dbuser>:<dbpassword>@localhost:27017/idroplink' node index (if you have a remote MongoDB instance, you have something like this: mongodb://<dbuser>:<dbpassword>@<somestring>.mongolab.com:39088/idroplink
