I am currently trying to develop an administration panel for (game)servers using node.js
Digging through the huge amount of articles, stackoverflow questions and resources that are scattered through the internet I came to the conclusion that this setup would make sense to me:
Now the problem: this administration panel would also be distributed to "regular" users, therefore it's going to be used by people with little knowledge about the technologies used to develop it. For example: the small server hosted on a home PC. As a direct consequence it's going to be used on most Operating Systems as well.
Technically, there's no problem with that. You can install the 3 core softwares and be fine. However, setting up everything might be difficult and not user friendly for most people of my userbase.
So here's the question:
Is there a way (or has it already been developed) to run redis and mongo ON a node.js wrapper therefore eliminating the need of installing and maintaing 3 separate processes?
The scenario would be: A user downloads my application that has a mongodb server and a redis server inside it (downloaded and installed by the wrapper appropriately based on OS etc.) that are run by the node.js wrapper, that also manages stability and crash recoveries.
