Support for multiple instances?

[a12one]

Thanks for making gwsocket, it is a very cool and useful project! At the moment I understand we support 1 instance /tmp/wspipein.fifo -> terminal.html, is it possible we can support multiple instances as in we have

/tmp/wspipein-1.fifo -> terminal-1.html
/tmp/wspipein-2.fifo -> terminal-2.html
/tmp/wspipein-3.fifo -> terminal-3.html

with only have 1 gwsocket process running in the background?

Good question, currently you would need to run multiple gwsocket instances using a different pipe. I'd need to look into having the ability to run one process but multiple pipes.

By the way, I think this would be really useful for goaccess as it has been requested there as well.

it would be a great enhancement, thank you again for looking into this!

Also, may I ask if we can have the reference HTML/JS code that is demonstrated in the gif on the homepage which renders the WebSocket output perfectly? @allinurl thanks a lot!

Now, If you are looking to have your full terminal output displayed in the browser, you need to load hterm.js. You can get a copy and the example here.

Here's the index file, just press Ctrl+u to see the code.

This is somewhat related... I created a FreeBSD port that includes a rc.d script that also supports the ability to run multiple instances, configurable via .conf files. It should make it's way into the official ports tree soon.

The port can be found at: https://github.com/tuaris/freebsd-gwsocket
