# Web Server on Linode

Basic example of an Linode web server accessible over HTTP

- Source on GitHub: https://github.com/pulumi/examples/tree/master/linode-js-webserver

## Get started with this example

This example lives in the [pulumi/examples](https://github.com/pulumi/examples/tree/master/linode-js-webserver) repo. Pull down just this directory to follow along:

```bash
git clone --filter=blob:none --sparse https://github.com/pulumi/examples pulumi-examples
git -C pulumi-examples sparse-checkout set linode-js-webserver
cd pulumi-examples/linode-js-webserver
```

Starting point for building a Pulumi sample webserver on Linode.

## Running the App

1.  Create a new stack:

    ```
    $ pulumi stack init webserver-linode-testing
    ```

1.  Configure the project:

    ```
    $ pulumi config set --secret linode:token YOURLINODETOKEN
    ```

1.  Restore NPM dependencies:

    ```
    $ npm install
    ```

1.  Run `pulumi up` to preview and deploy changes:

    ```
    $ pulumi up
    Previewing update (webserver-linode-testing):
    ...

    Updating (webserver-linode-testing):

        Type                         Name                                        Status
    +   pulumi:pulumi:Stack          webserver-linode-webserver-linode-testing   created
    +   ├─ linode:index:StackScript  simple-server                               created
    +   └─ linode:index:Instance     instance                                    created

    Outputs:
        instanceIP   : "69.164.221.90"
        instanceLabel: "linode13879908"

    Resources:
        + 3 created

    Duration: 55s
    ```

1.  Curl the HTTP server:

    ```
    $ curl $(pulumi stack output instanceIP)
    Hello, World!
    ```

1.  SSH into the server:

    ```
    $ linode-cli ssh root@$(pulumi stack output instanceLabel)
