Fractools Node

This Node uses Websockets to build a communication network between several Clients

# Install Dependencies
npm i

# Run Node in Development Mode with `Nodemon`
npm run dev

# Run Node in Production mode
npm run start

If you want to protect the Node for Crashes, which decrease your runtime, use Forever to keep this running with a process id (pid) on your OS.

# Install Forever globally
[sudo] npm install forever -g

# Run your instance
[sudo] forever start index.js

Monitor

/lib/monitor /lib/logger

Monitor and its Logger Module help monitoring the state of the system including a database for logs. It requires the dbmanager

Tokenizer
