I have windows server 2012 , and I want to run a node.js application on it. I would ideally like it to automatically start if we reboot the server.
I saw a solution called nodeiis but it doesn't look like it has been updated for over a year and the version is .2 . doesn't seem stable?
What is the current best practice for running on windows server?
I wouldn't even bother trying to integrate with IIS unless you really want to. Instead, I'd try to daemonize the node process either by writing your own Windows Service wrapper or using node-windows which wraps Windows Service creation for you.
