alligator

Multi Protocol RPC Gateway for node.js

Work in progress !!!

Futures:

• Establish bidirectional connections between clients through firewalls using low-level protocols TCP, WS, UTP
• Provide or call write and read actions (streams, promises, async functions).
• Central authentication and assignment of rights with groups
• Address book with all connected connections and Actions so the alligator client can provide load balancing.
• Forwards invocation of Streams Promises and Async functions to the Alligator with the connection to the desired client.
• Command line interface

At least two connected alligator servers are required for the alligator system to work.

Example of commands for deployment to two servers

Server 1

npm install -g alligator
alligator start --logLevel 6 --listen "shs+tcp://[::]:81" --listen "shs+ws://[::]:80" 
alligator friends.put server2Id

Server 2

npm install -g alligator
alligator start --logLevel 6 --listen "shs+tcp://[::]:81" --listen "shs+ws://[::]:80" --bootstrap "shs+ws://Server1PublicKey@IPServer1:80"
// Test command
alligator lb.groups.ls lb.addrs lb.protoNames

Run client

npm install -g alligator
node bin run --bootstrap  "shs+ws://Server1PublicKey@IPServer1:80"
