Pharos is a real-time pushing alternative to Pusher which is easy to deploy on dotCloud for free (I usually prefer Heroku, but having no WebSocket support sucks).
These are some of the features I want to implement:
Authenticating users via an auth-token and several strategies.- Multiple Workers who push your data to the users. Connect to the master via Redis pub/sub.
Logging ALL the messages.Sexy Web Interface to check the logs and emit or repush messages.- Pipes created either via the server or the client itself. Should be a private room for multiple users to send messages without reaching your app to relieve your load.
RESTful API to push messages to the folks.Public and Private Channels. For example a channel named "notification" may be private. You may push a message to user XYZ in this channel and only this user should receive the message. A public channel could be something like a global chat, where you push the message without specifying special users.Stats for analytical reasons.- Tests to run the whole thing in production.
- Resend Messages when a client disconnects for ~5 seconds -> reloading the page.
Read more about it on my blog post.
MIT, of course!
# Push an object to a single user.
curl -d "to=1&message={\"foo\":\"bar\"}" \
http://:[email protected]/push/CHANNEL
# Push an object to multiple users.
curl -d "to[]=1&to[]=2&message={\"foo\":\"bar\"}" \
http://:[email protected]/push/CHANNEL
# Broadcast some JavaScript to get evaluated.
curl -d "message=alert('Hello World');" \
http://:[email protected]/push/CHANNEL
Coming soon.
