# HiBuddy, say hi to your friends !

HiBuddy provides you a simple way to make bidirectional

videoconferences with your friends.

## Goals

  - Provides a small web application.

  - Easy to install, easy to launch, easy to use.

  - Doesn't keep any user data.

  - Free as in freedom.

## Getting Started

### Requirements

  - Firefox 25 (or later)

  - `node 0.8.x`

  - `npm 1.1.x`

### Install the project

    $ git clone https://github.com/tOkeshu/hibuddy.git

    $ cd hibuddy

    $ npm install

These commands should clone and pull the necessary dependencies.

### Configure Nginx

Here is a sample configuration for nginx:

    # /etc/nginx/sites-available/hibuddy.example.com

    server {

        listen   80;

        root /path/to/hibuddy/public;

        index index.html index.htm;

        server_name hibuddy.example.com;

        server_name_in_redirect off;

        proxy_buffering off;

        location / {

               proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:6424;

        }

    }

Enable your site:

    # ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/hibuddy.example.com /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/hibuddy.example.com

    # /etc/init.d/nginx reload

### Start the server

    $ cd hibuddy

    $ npm start # starts the server on port 6424

Then open a browser to http://hibuddy.example.com (where `hibuddy.example.com` is your domain).

If you just want to test the application on you machine, just edit your

`/etc/hosts`:

    # /etc/hosts

    127.0.1.1	hibuddy.example.com

### Production

For a more concrete deployment, we recommand you to use `forever`:

    # npm install -g forever # install forever system wide

    $ cd hibuddy

    $ forever -o logs/stdout.log -e logs/stderr.log start bin/hibuddy

    $ forever stop bin/hibuddy

See the [forever documentation](https://github.com/nodejitsu/forever)

for more information.
