nodejs howto or wiki

[cwc]

I'm getting starting using nodejs I've installed it on my RaspPi. Now I'd like to run it on Gentoo.

net-libs/nodejs-0.10.21

I'm running nginx on port 80. So I'll go with 8000 or 8080 on nodejs.

I noticed the docs at /usr/share/doc/nodejs-0.10.21

I've search the web for a gentoo howto and did not find anything.

Please throw me a bone.


This is how node is started on my RPi

root@rpi:~# more /etc/init.d/nodejs.sh
#!/bin/bash

NODE=/opt/node/bin/node
SERVER_JS_FILE=/home/pi/node/server.js
USER=pi
OUT=/home/pi/node/logs/nodejs.log

case "$1" in

start)
echo "starting node: $NODE $SERVER_JS_FILE"
sudo -u $USER $NODE $SERVER_JS_FILE > $OUT 2>$OUT &
;;

stop)
killall $NODE
;;

*)
echo "usage: $0 (start|stop)"
esac

exit 0

test.js
I'm going to give this a try with:
var sys = require("sys"),
my_http = require("http");
my_http.createServer(function(request,response){
sys.puts("I got kicked");
response.writeHeader(200, {"Content-Type": "text/plain"});
response.write("Hello World");
response.end();
}).listen(8080);
sys.puts("Server Running on 8080");

as my test.js server
