donut

DONUT is a node.js/backbonejs based chatroom platform. Usage is inspired of IRC on a side and modern social platform on other hand.

A production demo account is created (for AppStore review process) and available with demo@donut.me : happy1234space

Pre-requisites

Server

• node.js (4.x) and npm (3.x)
• MongoDB (3.x)
• Redis
• nginx

Global NPM packages (generally installed as root)

• grunt-cli
• pm2

DNS For development:

127.0.0.1   donut.local

Root FQDN should be configured in shared/config/config.{NODE_ENV}.js

Be sure you have an auto-signed SSL for donut.local (https://gist.github.com/jessedearing/2351836) that is fully accepted by your browser (on MacOSX: http://www.robpeck.com/2010/10/google-chrome-mac-os-x-and-self-signed-ssl-certificates/#.VRBtepOG869).

Configure nginx accordingly:

http {
  upstream io_nodes {
    ip_hash;
    server donut.local:3050;
    server donut.local:3051;
  }
  server {
      listen       80;
      server_name  donut.local;
      rewrite ^(.*) https://donut.local$request_uri permanent;
  }
  server {
    listen 443;
    server_name donut.local;
