cf-websocket-shell

This is a convenience repo to create a websockets "shell" into a Cloud Foundry Warden Container. The work is taken from @jambay and I've put it here for personal ease of use.

To Read the original source of this work you'll need to look elsewhere

• iamjambay.com - Send Interactive Commands to a Cloud Foundry App with websocketd
• YouTube - Websocketd and cloud foundry apps

Usage

Using the app in this repo:

1. Clone this repo:

     $ git clone 
   

2. Push the application to your Cloud Foundry install:

     $ cf push websocket-demo -c '/app/websocketd --port=$PORT --dir=/app/ --devconsole'
   

3. Open your app in the browser with a URL similar to the following:

     https://websocket-demo.your-cf.com/bash.sh
   

4. Open the connection by entering the secure websocket URL in the colsole and hitting the tick:

     wss://websocket-demo.your-cf.com/bash.sh
   

5. Type the commands you want to evaluate at the send prompt
