timka/websocket_chat repository overview

⁠WebSocket chat

Simple web-chat written in Erlang and based on WebSockets as transport layer.

Extra goal (not done): do it without cowboy. :)

⁠Deploy using Vagrant & Docker

⁠Prerequisites

1. Vagrant⁠
2. (Optional) vagrant plugin install vagrant-cachier to speed-up deploy by sharing package cache among Vagrant VMs

⁠Deploy

1. vagrant up --provision to setup and provision master and minion VMs with Salt
2. Open http://localhost:8080⁠

⁠Wipe out

1. vagrant destroy

⁠Docker development VM

The optional dev VM with Docker can be added if you do export USE_DEV_VM=1 before running Vagrant. This VM may be used to debug Docker image builds on machines that don't support Docker natively (e.g. pre-2010 MacBook Pro).
