https on flok-next web server

[aaronsherwood]

Love flok, thank you Damián! How can I enable https on the next-flok web server (and use my own cert and key)?

Thanks! :) I have a work-in-progress branch with optional https server and optional custom SSL certificate and key, will try to get this finished soon.

Working on this here #188

I just merged #188 on flok-next branch. If you're running flok-web directly from the repository, you can now run:

npm start -- --secure

or

npm start -- --secure --ssl-cert path/to/cert.pem --ssl-key path/to/key.pem

If you don't specify a certificate and key files, it will use a self-signed certificate bundled with flok.

If you're using the published flok-web package, you'll have to wait a little bit until I publish a new version (probably in a few weeks once I finish a couple of other pending issues).

Awesome! The ssl use works great!

I'm not getting any connectivity with Tidal though. It says it's connected to Superdirt in terminal after pasting and running the repl configuration copied from the webpage, but when i evaluate a line no message comes through on the terminal and no sound happens in supercollider (same thing happens now on https://next.flok.cc/ too). I tried updating the repl by npm install -g flok-repl with no improvement (though it now says it doesn't understand the -T command for setting the user's name). I then installed [email protected], which fixed the -T issue, but still no sound.

Also, FYI, this doesn't work with the latest version of Node. I switched to v18.19.0 and it would work. Here is what I got on node v20:

npm WARN EBADENGINE Unsupported engine {
npm WARN EBADENGINE package: '[email protected]',
npm WARN EBADENGINE required: {
npm WARN EBADENGINE node: '^10 || ^12 || ^13 || ^14 || ^15 || ^16 || ^17 || ^18 || ^19'
npm WARN EBADENGINE },
npm WARN EBADENGINE current: { node: 'v20.10.0', npm: '10.2.3' }
npm WARN EBADENGINE }

Hmm yeah I'm not getting any message at the browser either... I'll take a look later today.

About the unsupported engine, it's because of a hydra dependency that is not up-to-date. It's just a warning though, it should still work with Node 20.

Ok, I think it's working now... the problem was that flok-repl didn't want to connect to a server with a self-signed certificate (as it is usually insecure), so I had to force it to ignore that. Can you try pulling again?

I also published a new version of flok-repl (1.0.0-alpha.10), it should work with that one (or you can try running it manually from the repo with bin/flok-repl.js from the packages/repl directory).

Works perfectly, thank you!
