Running a meteor shell on a standalone server
For those that want to connect to meteor's shell running on a standalone/self-maintained server, the standard command you use in the development environment doesn't work. Fortunately you can 'trick' it into allowing the `meteor shell` command. APPDIR=/opt/bitnami/apps/myapp export METEOR_SHELL_DIR="$APPDIR/.meteor/local/shell" # other settings # ... exec node $APPDIR/bundle/main.js cd /opt/bitnami/apps/myapp mkdir -p .meteor/local/shell echo > .meteor/packages echo 'METEOR@1.2.1\n' > .meteor/release meteor shell
