Aurora Tips

gistfile1.txt

All the steps are really easy and you can find lots of guides on Internet.

Server
- install node on server (normally it's already installed, if not just follow this guide)

- install mongodb

- install git on server

- install forever
npm install forever -g

- check if mongo is already started

- 'git clone https://github.com/urcoilbisurco/Aurora-Server' , it will create a 'Aurora-Server' folder. Better if you rename it in something else, like 'aurora'

- go inside that folder (cd aurora)

- npm install (it will takes a while)

- create a _env.js file, with this inside:

module.exports={
  port:3456, //CHANGE IF YOU WANT
  production:true,
  auth:{
    saltRounds:10,
  },
  socket_server:"http://localhost:3456",  //CHANGE with the same value as 'port'
  mongo:"mongodb://localhost:27017/aurora", //this is the default port of mongodb, change it if you change the mongo port
  mqtt_server:"mqtt://localhost:1883", //CHANGE IF YOU WANT
  weather:{
    token:"YOUR TOKEN HERE,
    location:"YOUR LOCATION HERE",
  },
  broker:{
    mongo_url:"mongodb://localhost:27017/", //AS ABOVE
    port:1883
  }
}

Change the parts that are in capslock, for the weather i'm currently using darksky.net, you need to create an account and retrieve the token

- npm run build
- forever start index.js

Ok, now you need to try to go to YOUR_IP_ADDRESS:PORT, where YOUR_IP_ADDRESS is the ip address of your server and the PORT is the one that you setup on the _env.js file. You should see a "register" page.
