Messaging Client

To run application on localhost:3000

Clone this repository git clone https://github.com/Heli-Copter/messaging-client.git
Install npm dependencies with npm install

You can run this application on a virtual DNS using nginx server (for eg. `messaging.gsharma.com`) by following nginx setup steps.

To setup nginx

This is needed to run application with name in url bar.

Install nginx with homebrew brew install nginx
Add 127.0.0.1 messaging.gsharma.com in '/etc/hosts'

127.0.0.1   messaging.gsharma.com

Add directory sites-available and sites-enabled.
Add file 'messaging.gsharma.com' inside the directory 'sites-available' amd add below code:

server {
  listen                443 ssl;
  server_name           messaging.gsharma.com;
  ssl_certificate       ...cert.pem; # Path to certificate
  ssl_certificate_key   ...key.pem; # Path to certificate key
    location / {
        proxy_pass https://localhost:3000;
    }
}

include created server blocks to '/usr/local/etc/nginx.conf' by adding following piece of code inside http section:

http {
    include       mime.types;
    include       sites-enabled/*.com;
    ...
    ...
}

Create a soft link from sites-available to sites-enabled

ln -s /usr/local/etc/nginx/sites-available/messaging.gsharma.com /usr/local/etc/nginx/sites-enabled

Reload nginx with the command sudo nginx -s reload

To generate certificates

openssl genrsa -out key.pem
openssl req -new -key key.pem -out csr.pem
openssl x509 -req -days 9999 -in csr.pem -signkey key.pem -out cert.pem
rm csr.pem
