I verified today what I had suspected, after one version of the software was updated to be the same as another using git merge alpha, and that version no longer working: specifying exact versions in your package.json doesn't guarantee that those packages, and its dependencies, do the same. so any 2 installations of your software could have different packages, some of which may be broken.

as it turns out, that wasn't the problem. I just had to restart the server using systemctl restart myturn@beta. but I'm planning on switching to Python as backend for the rewrite. nodejs may be an OK technology, but npm opens the door to too many maintenance nightmares.
