TryLinks Server

This is the TryLinks server repository, powered by Express, Socket.IO, and more.

Usage

First clone this repository using git clone.

Then build the relevant node modules

npm install

We use dotenv to provide various configurations to the server, such as database connection, session encryption secret, and so on. To run TryLinks server, you will need to create a '.env' file yourself. A template of this file looks like this:

DB_CONNECTION_STRING=...
SECRET=...
TRYLINKS_CONFIG=...
PROD_DOMAIN=[...]
COMPILE_WAIT_TIME=...

After that, the server can be started by using

npm start
