# **n**.eko
This app uses Web RTC to stream a desktop inside of a docker container, I made this because [rabb.it](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabb.it) went under and my internet can't handle streaming and discord keeps crashing. I just want to watch anime with my friends ლ(ಠ益ಠლ) so I started digging throughout the net and found a few *kinda* clones, but non of them had the virtual browser, then I found [Turtus](https://github.com/Khauri/Turtus) and I was able to figure out the rest. This is by no means a fully featured clone of rabbit, it hs only *one* room. Its stateless, so no saved user names or passwords.

### Why n.eko?
I like cats (Neko is the Japanese word for cat), I'm a weeb/nerd

### Why the cat butt?
Because cats are *assholes*, but you love them anyways...

2. [SSH into your box](https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/droplets/how-to/connect-with-ssh/)
***Why are the specs so high?*** : If you think about it, you have to run a full desktop, a browser (a resource hog on its own) *and* encode/transmit the desktop, there's a lot going on and so it demands some power.

### Development
*Highly* recommend you use a [dev container](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/containers) for [vscode](https://code.visualstudio.com/), I've included the `.devcontainer` I've used to develop this app. To build neko run:
`cd .docker && ./build`

```
cd .docker && ./build
```
the `.docker` folder also contains `./test` bash script which will launch a desktop with a browser for testing out any changes with the server.
To run the client with hot loading (for development of new client features)
```
cd ./client && npm run serve
```
### Non Goals
* Turning n.eko into a service that serves multiple rooms and browsers/desktops.
* Voice chat, use [Discord](https://discordapp.com/))
