The idea behind this project is to create an easy way of delivering notifications/messages to peers in real time over HTTP.

Supports long polling so far but with plans to support WebSockets.

It is an stand alone server, it expects a json file with the basic configuration.

{
    "http_port": 8080,
    "http_ip": "0.0.0.0",
    "allow_origin": "*.foobar.com",
    "debug": true,
    "allow_post": false, 
    "daemon_ip": "127.0.0.1",
    "daemon_port": 2508
}

• http_port: port to listen to.
• http_ip: ip to bind to
• allow_origin: Set Access-Control-Allow-Origin origin, to allow safely cross domain ajax calls
• debug: Enable debug logging to the stdout and output a nicer-format json
• allow_post: Accept messages creation via POST. Otherwise messages needs to be generated via backend
• daemon_ip: The deamon (should be private) the daemon should be binded to.
• daemon_port: To what port should the daemon be binded to.

Nanomsg and CMake are required in order to build from source.

cmake .
make
./notifd ./config.json

Connection subscribe to channels.
