This project shows how to setup a simple chat server using Amp and the Aerys HTTP server library on Platform.sh. It is very closely based on this example by Niklas Keller.
To start a new project based on this template, follow these 3 simple steps:
-
Clone this repository locally. You may optionally remove the
originremote or remove the.gitdirectory and re-init the project if you want a clean history. -
Create a new project through the Platform.sh user interface and select "Import an existing project" when prompted.
-
Run the provided Git commands to add a Platform.sh remote and push the code to the Platform.sh repository.
That's it! Now visit your site in 2 separate browser windows and enter a chat name. You'll be able to enter a message on one window and have the message immediately appear in the other.
You can also use this repository as a reference for your own projects, and borrow whatever code is needed. The most important parts are the .platform.app.yaml file and the .platform directory.
