This is a fork of WBO customized for the purpose of our math sessions.
- Pushup counter (click to increase by 10, shift-click to decrease by 10)
- LaTeX math tool
First, download the sources:
git clone https://github.com/xigoi/whitebophir.git
cd whitebophir
Then install node.js (v10.0 or superior) if you don't have it already, then install WBO's dependencies:
npm install --production
Finally, you can start the server:
PORT=5001 npm start
This will run WBO directly on your machine, on port 5001, without any isolation from the other services. You can also use an invokation like
PORT=5001 HOST=127.0.0.1 npm start
to make whitebophir only listen on the loopback device. This is useful if you want to put whitebophir behind a reverse proxy.
By default, WBO launches its own web server and serves all of its content at the root of the server (on /).
If you want to make the server accessible with a different path like https://your.domain.com/wbo/ you have to setup a reverse proxy.
See instructions on our Wiki about how to setup a reverse proxy for WBO.
When you start a WBO server, it loads its configuration from several environment variables.
You can see a list of these variables in configuration.js.
Some important environment variables are :
WBO_HISTORY_DIR: configures the directory where the boards are saved. Defaults to./server-data/.WBO_MAX_EMIT_COUNT: the maximum number of messages that a client can send per unit of time. Increase this value if you want smoother drawings, at the expense of being susceptible to denial of service attacks if your server does not have enough processing power. By default, the units of this quantity are messages per 4 seconds, and the default value is192.
