There's not a lot here yet. But if you want instructions:
Install the latest version of Erlang.
Get the repository (look up how to use Git?)
run make in this directory. Make sure everything looks ok
Adjust hm_rel-1.rel to correspond with your Erlang versions. Whether you
make changes or not run erl -pa ./ebin then on the Erlang command line
run systools:make_script("hm_rel-1", [local]).. Then quit the Erlang
shell. This updates the boot script to correspond with your versions.
I'm probably going to remove this step once I understand more about
Erlang releases etc.
Make sure start.sh is executable: chmod +x start.sh.
./start.sh
Have fun! You might need to look in the code to know what to do.
Hydrometeor doesn't have a configuration file (yet), but most configurable parameters are easily located. Here's some you might want:
src/hm_sup.erl.src/hm_web.erl at the top.src/hm_web.erl default is '/hm1backend'. src/hm_server.erl at the top.src/hm_server.erl at the top.src/hm_server.erl at the top.src/hm_app.erl at the top. You can also
control what housekeeping does here (write in your own Erlang if you want).At the moment you can use the Erlang shell you are dumped in to send messages, like:
hm_server:send("testchannel", <<"Hello there!">>).Alternatively, you can send HTTP POST data to the server:
curl -d "channel=testchannel&message=testmessage" http://localhost:9002/hm1backend/admin/sendBefore sending that, in another terminal run a curl command ready to receive it:
curl "http://localhost:9002/hm1backend/subscribe?channel=testchannel"Messages are sent in a format of id,message for the moment. The id can be
used with a since parameter. So for example, send another message:
hm_server:send("testchannel", <<"Hello again!">>).Now run the curl command:
curl "http://localhost:9002/hm1backend/subscribe?channel=testchannel&since=1"You should receive 2,Hello again! straight away.
