Node.js: 6. Change the configuration

This documentation is part of the Automate with the CLI guide. View the full guide here: Start Node.js, retrieve its credentials, and change its configuration programmatically with the Stackhero CLI.

👋 Welcome to the Stackhero documentation!

Stackhero delivers a ready-to-use Node.js cloud environment designed to help you move faster:

  • Deploy to production in seconds with a simple git push. No extra tooling or manual setup is required.
  • Bring your own domain and benefit from automatic HTTPS certificates, keeping your application secure without extra configuration.
  • Automatic backups, one-click updates, and predictable pricing help you focus on shipping features, and Stackhero manages the infrastructure for you.
  • Built on private, dedicated infrastructure for consistent performance and strong security.

Save time and reduce operational overhead: you can have your application running on Stackhero's Node.js cloud hosting in just a few minutes.

You can review an example configuration schema and then apply your own settings. When you update the configuration, the service may restart to apply the changes.

# View the configuration schema and an example for your service
stackhero service-configuration-example --service=svc-xxxxxx

# Apply a custom configuration (the service restarts if needed)
stackhero service-configuration-set \
  --service=svc-xxxxxx \
  --configuration='{ "...": "..." }'

# Wait for the new configuration to be applied
stackhero service-wait-for --service=svc-xxxxxx

That is it. You have now seen the full lifecycle: start a service, retrieve its credentials, and reconfigure it, all in a scriptable, automated way. To dive deeper, check out the full CLI documentation, which also covers the non-interactive STACKHERO_TOKEN authentication demonstrated here.
