Glass-Live

Overview

This is the main Node.js server application for running Blockland Glass' Glass Live service.

Installing

Prerequisites

You must have the following installed:

• Node.js
• MongoDB

Database Format

At this current time, Glass Live will not automatically create the database for you.

The MongoDB instance must have a database named glassLive and an empty collection named users under it.

Setup

1. Ensure the MongoDB instance is online and the database format has been manually created as mentioned above.
2. Copy config.json.default in the root directory and rename it to config.json (same location).
3. Open the renamed config.json and edit the details to match your Glass website and database setup.
4. Run index.js to launch the Glass Live server.

You can now create a dev/config.json file in your Blockland Glass client directory and connect to your Glass Live server. Example config.json below:

{
  "address": "localhost",
  "netAddress": "localhost",
  "liveAddress": "localhost",
  "livePort": 27002,
  "debug": false
}
