connect to noflo ui #201

Maybe I'm just to stupid to use this, I have rabbitmq installed and msgflo. I started noflo-runtime-msgflo successfully (at least it tells me "started ..."

How do I now connect my local msgflo-runtime in the (also locally running) noflo-ui? I tried to add a manual runtime and specified "msgflo" as the type.

But noflo-ui always tells me "Runtime not available".

Thanks for any hints

NoFlo runtime for MsgFlo doesn't provide a runtime endpoint. For editing the NoFlo graph you can use noflo-nodejs, and for editing the MsgFlo graph you can run the msgflo command

Hi bergie, thanks for the quick reply and your help. This is all quite confusing. According to your package.json I can now connect to the msgflo-runtime. Yeah :-)

Ok ... but now a myriad of other question arise ... but well I have to dig through some of the spare resources that are there. The docs are a real pita. This could be such a great way to do things, but it's quite frustrating to get it up and running.

Yep, that's the downside of making tools for ourselves first. I hope we'll be able to put some effort in proper getting started documentation and some prepared Docker containers soon. @uwekamper said he'd like to help with that

Good that you managed to get Flowhub connected to your MsgFlo runtime. Do file issues for other problems you run into, or other questions you may have!

FYI: There now also exists a MsgFlo project template, based on Docker, here: https://github.com/noflo/noflo-runtime-msgflo/issues/201
