run vite dev server in background

nrd

Run npm run dev in background for all your Laravel Herd sites.

Installation

pip install nrd

Usage

Simply run the nrd command to start all Vite dev servers for your secured Herd sites:

python -m nrd.nrd

Autostart on System Boot

NRD can be configured to automatically start when your system boots. This ensures your development servers are always running in the background.

macOS:

nrd-service-install

Linux:

sudo nrd-service-install

Windows (Run PowerShell/CMD as Administrator):

nrd-service-install

Uninstall Service

Features

• Automatically detects all secured Laravel Herd sites
• Runs Vite dev servers in the background

• Auto-restart on failure
• Easy installation and management scripts

Requirements

• Python 3.8 or higher

How It Works

NRD uses the herd parked --json command to discover all your secured Herd sites, then starts npm run dev for each site in the background. When configured as a service, it automatically starts on system boot and keeps your dev servers running.
