This directory is for uploading to the web server machine for the server-side of the multi-user Spokes game.

The server runs in Node.js.

Installing Node & Elm in Ubuntu (as root):

• apt-get install npm
• apt-get install nodejs-legacy
• npm install -g elm
• npm install -g elm-websocket-server

Installing the server code (user account, see package.json) for details):

One time:

• cd .../server # this directory
• npm install

To build after a code change:

• npm run build:server

To start the server:

• npm run start:server

If your web server automatically upgrades to HTTPS, or you prefer to leave off the ":8080" from the Server URL, you'll need to proxy to get to the non-encrypted websocket server. Do this by installing Apache mod_proxy_wstunnel:

$ sudo a2enmod proxy_wstunnel
$ sudo service apache2 restart

Then add to either your Apache virtual host configuration or to an .htaccess file, the following:

ProxyPass "/spokes-server"  "ws://localhost:8080/"

/spokes-server has to match the contents of site/server.txt, from which the client loads the server default.
