libbymiller / nscreen_nws

An experimental implementation of nscreen with named web sockets. Do not use!

This was an experiment in using named web sockets with an old demo from the NoTube project. It's nonsense mostly, but does work for that limited application.

For my own reference (see (NamedWebSockets page)[https://github.com/namedwebsockets/networkwebsockets/wiki/Building-a-Network-Web-Socket-Proxy-from-Source]) on a Raspebrry Pi 2:

note this only works with jessie, I think - the default on wheezy is too old. Try http://www.zipplet.co.uk/index.php/content/raspberrypi_golang otherwise, it's easy.

sudo apt-get install golang mercurial -y

mkdir go
cd go
export GOPATH=/home/pi/go

go get github.com/namedwebsockets/cmd/networkwebsockets

cd `go list -f '{{.Dir}}' github.com/namedwebsockets/cmd/networkwebsockets`

go run run.go -port=9009    

Sample minimal nginx file:

/etc/nginx $ cat nginx.conf

http {
    server {
        location / {
            root /var/www/html;
        }
    }
}
events { worker_connections 1024; }

To run this on remote browsers (yes I'm aware it's not supposed to work that way, this was for a demo), you need to

fix namedwebsockets.js to ip or radiodan.local

and namedwebsockets/networkwebsockets/service.go to ip or radiodan.local (and remove retriction on access to local ips)
