Currently there is no real configuration file (yet). At the beginning of main.js some options can be configured such as the urls for the actions, the ports the services are run on and where to find the key- and certificate file for the https server.
Because this bus uses https for the creation of busses and the posting of data, a key and certificate file must be generated. To generate these:
openssl genrsa -out key.pem 1024
openssl req -new -key key.pem -out certrequest.csr
openssl x509 -req -in certrequest.csr -signkey key.pem -out cert.pem
Make sure the paths in main.js actually point to these files.
(NOTE: This is a self-signed certificate, for actual usage a real certificate should be used.)
simply run main.js by running node {path to main.js}
