    About This Skill

    Turn Scripts into Reliable Background Services

    Deploying an application is only the first step; keeping it running 24/7 is the real challenge. pm2-service-daemonizer provides a standardized workflow for transforming Node.js, Python, and binary applications into resilient background daemons. It solves the critical problem of "silent failures" where a script crashes or a server reboots, leaving your service offline.

    What it does

    This skill automates the end-to-end process of service lifecycle management. It encapsulates complex configurations for process persistence, including:

    • Daemonization: Running applications in the background with zero-downtime reloads.
    • Auto-Recovery: Instant restarts if an app crashes due to memory leaks or unhandled exceptions.
    • Boot Persistence: Configuring system-level startup scripts (Mac/Linux) to ensure services come back online after a power cycle.
    • Runtime Management: Unified logging, health checks, and resource monitoring for multiple processes.

    Why use this skill

    Manually running commands like pm2 start is easy, but configuring pm2 startup correctly, managing Python virtual environments, or handling cross-platform daemon persistence is error-prone. This skill acts as a DevOps expert, ensuring your environment variables, work directories, and startup hooks are configured according to production-grade best practices.

    Supported Technologies

    • Frameworks: Node.js (Express, NestJS), Python (Flask, FastAPI, Slack-Bolt).
    • Environments: Virtualenv, Conda, npm/yarn.
    • Platforms: Linux (Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian), macOS.

    Use Cases

    • Convert Node scripts into background services with auto-restart on crash.
    • Configure Python venv apps to start automatically when the server boots.
    • Set up unified logging and resource monitoring for multiple microservices.
    • Implement zero-downtime reloads and memory-limit based auto-reboot policies.
