UsageCopy heading link to clipboard

Let's start with a simple Node.js project:

my-cool-api
├── package.json
└── server.js

0 directories, 2 files

First run npm install to install your dependencies:

npm install

This creates the node_modules directory:

my-cool-api
├── node_modules
├── package.json
└── server.js

1 directory, 2 files

Run the speculate command from inside the project directory:

speculate

You've now got an RPM Spec file and a systemd service definition for your project. You'll also notice that your application has been packaged into a tar.gz archive, ready to be built with an RPM building tool like or :

my-cool-api
├── SOURCES
│   └── my-cool-api.tar.gz
├── SPECS
│   └── my-cool-api.spec
├── node_modules
├── my-cool-api.service
├── package.json
└── server.js

3 directories, 5 files

Speculate is designed to be used at build time, just before you package your application into an RPM. Because of this, we recommend adding the generated files to your .gitignore file:

*.service
