To run the projects you need to set the following environment variables (in an .env file for example):

• PORT - The port the application will be running on
• SIO_ADMINUI_USERNAME (optional) - Username for the admin UI
• SIO_ADMINUI_PASSWORD (optional) - Password for the admin UI, needs to be encrypted using bcrypt

Example:

PORT=8080 # port used for express and socket.io
SIO_ADMINUI_PASSWORD=******** # encrypted with bcrypt see link below
SIO_ADMINUI_USERNAME=admin # username for the admin interface

You can use the Bcrypt generator to generate the bcrypt hash for the SIO_ADMINUI_PASSWORD.

The following tools can be useful when debugging SocketIO:

• Online connection checker
• The Admin UI that is hosted on http://localhost:53212/sioadmin
