time-diff-server

Receives requests from time-diff-client. Responds with current server time to. Useful for time synchronization.

How it works

Waits for socket connections from instances of time-diff-client. Answers time requests from clients with server's current time. Clients will use this data to get the time difference between their clocks and the server's.

time-diff-server provides WebSockets and UDP modes.

Default WS port is 8001, UDP is 3024.

Install

npm install -g time-diff-server

Start

tds-udp: Starts in UDP mode, the recommended one because its lower latency.

tds-ws: Starts in WebSockets mode.

Passing command line arguments:

PORT=7000 tds-ws

Or:

PORT=7000 tds-udp
