Is this a clumsy setup?

[tobefound]

Hey,

So, node, angular, couchdb is not really my cup of tea (not linux either...), but here's what I did:

1. At Cast dev console I created application id and registered my chrome cast devices.
2. Started a virtual Ubuntu Unicorn.
3. Copied gscreen content to ~/gscreen, cd gscreen
4. sudo apt-get install npm
5. sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy
6. sudo apt-get install couchdb -y
7. sudo npm install (in the gscreen folder)
8. sudo npm run create-config
9. sudo nano public/js/gscreen-config.js
10. Add my chromecastApplicationId
11. sudo nano /etc/couchdb/default.ini (set to 5985 because couchdb has 5984 in use already)
12. sudo nano config.json (set to 5984).
13. sudo couchdb &
14. ctrl-c
15. sudo npm start
16. Ready for testing the gscreen app!

I'm not really happy about step 10-14, not sure how to do this properly (I want couchdb and npm to run as a service/in the background somehow).

It works, but figuring out how the cromecasts, the cast console, the sender and the receiver are working together was a pain...

Anyone knows how to make this setup a more production like setup?

I have dockerized greenscreen and couchdb in my fork of greenscreen which makes setting up easy. If the project maintainers are open to the idea might as well submit a PR here for review.
For time being check this out: https://github.com/shreyu86/greenscreen

Sweet! I think...? :)

How does this affect the setup procedure? Could you add some setup
instructions for those not familiar with this docker thing, thx!

As I said, my setup works but only for a limited time... then something shuts everything down and I have to set the configuration to a different couchdb port.

I want to try out the docker thing or if there's another way to secure a stable running environment.

@tobefound We use greenscreen in docker with hosted couchdb at https://cloudant.com/. It's for free as long as your usage of couchdb is less than $50, which we never reached.

Has anybody tried setting it up on c9.io?
