hashdeveloper/websocketeval repository overview

⁠websocketeval

This project includes a Dockerfile for building the related image and src-files for the websocket-evaluation prototypes. You don't necessarily need to run the docker container and can use the prototypes as stand-alone.

So far there is the 'prototype-one' which simply pushes information to all connected clients, if the data in the example.xml has changed. A php-script changes the xml-file every second as long as it is running.

⁠Prerequisites

• npm (and docker, if you want to use it) installed globally

⁠Usage

• Clone the project or download the .zip-archive
• Change into the root-directory
• Install the necessary dependencies via npm:

npm install

• After the installation of the dependencies, install the bower-dependencies - which in this case is bootstrap-template:

bower install

• Build the docker-image:

docker build -t imageprefix/imagesuffix:tag path/to/Dockerfile

• After the build run the container:

docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -v $PWD:/root imageprefix/imagesuffix:tag

• The container is now running in detached mode (in the background) and the ws-server is already running
• Also start the php-script for simulating the changing data (get the container-name via the command "docker ps"):

docker exec -d container-name php /root/prototype-one/changeFile.php

• In your browser open the file "prototype-one/client.html" and you should see data updates every second
