# OpenFest Timer

## Deployment

### Configuration

Configuration is done by environmental variables:

```yaml
HALLS: "/hall-a:Hall A;/hall-b:Hall B"
TITLE: "Hall A"  # not in use if HALLS is set to non-empty
PREFIX: /hall-a  # not in use if HALLS is set to non-empty
BASIC_AUTH: "admin:password"  # user:plaintext-password
```

### Prod Deployment

```
cd timer-repo/
git pull
podman build -t timer .
```

### Local Development

`docker-compose up --build`

## Based on Defcon

### Defcon

Defcon is a stopwatch running on Node.js, Express.js, and Socket.io.
It is intended to be a good starting point if you're just learning to use
web sockets. It currently uses xhr-polling so it is compatible with Heroku.

### Who's it for?

I originally wrote Defcon over four blog posts introducing Socket.io and
deploying to Heroku. Please checkout the posts on my site, [robdodson.me](http://robdodson.me)
