local-first-web / relay-deployable Goto Github PK

I spent some time trying to get the relay up and running in Glitch and ran into some trouble. Figured I'd capture what I found for your information, and I'm happy to submit PRs if that's useful/welcome

• In 2020, Glitch blocked "ping services" , and one of the (perhaps unintended) effects of that choice is that connections to a Glitch app must provide the User-Agent header. It doesn't seem like most websocket libraries support headers, but I had success with https://www.npmjs.com/package/websocket
• https://glitch.com/edit/#!/local-first-relay points to v1 of the relay package, rather than v3, so simply pointing my client(s) as local-first-relay.glitch.me wasn't working as expected.
• Using the "Remix on Glitch" button in the readme gives me an app that says Error: Cannot find module '@localfirst/relay/dist' in the logs. I fixed by changing server.js to require('@localfirst/relay/dist/src'), but presumably this could be fixed in the @localfirst/relay package

Thanks for the project and hope this is helpful!
