message-board-js

just a random idea i head to make a terminal based "message of the day" board

how to use

run npm i to install required packages

run node server from the projects root to start the server (you can configure env variable PORT in .env to set a port or let the system choose a free one).

create <message name>.txt in messages folder containing the messages

run as many clients as you wish with node client and enter <server ip>:<server port>/<message name> into the prompt to connect.

example commands to show message "test" on local machines terminal:

add file test.txt and insert content (example: "test")

cd message-board-js
node server

in a new terminal session for the client run:

cd message-board-js
node client
127.0.0.0:3000/text

replace 3000 with your servers port.
