auxwire

Repository for the auxwire.link web server code and client-side code. The web server is written in Haskell. The HTML and CSS is rendered server-side. The Javascript is static.

The mission

Make it easy to take turns playing music in a room of friends.

Steps to run the web server locally

These steps assume you have GHC, Cabal, and Node installed!

1. The web server runs on https. Use mkcert to generate a cert and key... Place these two files in a directory at the root of the project... name this directory tls preferably.

   mkcert -install
   mkcert localhost 127.0.0.1
   

2. Install npm packages then compile/bundle client-side code. This project uses Webpack for this. Compilation of Typescript happens via webpack. This step creates an output directory called dist-client.

   npm install
   npm run build
   

3. Run webserver. Notice the args p,c, and k are referencing files created from step 1 and 2. The cabal v2-run command will install+build if necessary.

   cabal v2-run . -- -p dist-static -c tls/localhost+1.pem -k tls/localhost+1-key.pem
