HERMES

This is an Express (4.x) with socket.io (2.x) running on a Node.js (8.9.4). It is written trying to adhere to ES6 style guides.

The scope of the project is to provide a central event manager that can broadcast information to the connected devices using the namespace approach so that we can differentiate which data to broadcast.

Current version

• Broadcast data for the HOY frontend

Future iterations

• Implement authorization before broadcasting
• Implement additional namespaces as the needs arise

Make it run

• Run npm install to install the dependencies
• Duplicate .env_sample and rename it to .env. Edit the content to match the desired parameters.
• Duplicate serverConfig.sample.js and rename it to serverConfig.js. Edit the content to match the desired parameters. You should probably set a specific port.
• If you selected the HTTPS protocol, be sure to add a certificate into the /cert/ and edit the serverConfig.js accordingly.
• Run your preferred node wrapper (like pm2 or nodemon) or just plain node index.js to start the engines. In production use PM2 properly configured to restart on reboot.
