Markdown server

A simple Markdown Websocket (and Unix socket) server backed by comrak and tokio-tungstenite.

Installation and Usage

Docker (recommended):

  1. Download the docker image. sh docker pull aalekhpatel07/ws-markdown-server:1.0.0

  2. Start the container:

Note: The 9004 tcp port bind is optional and only required if you wish to expose a Unix socket server along with a WebSocket server (which runs on 9003).

sh docker run \ -d \ -p 9003:9003 \ -p 9004:9004 \ --name ws-markdown-server \ aalekhpatel07/ws-markdown-server:1.0.0

Local

You can run a Markdown server on your local machine via ws-markdown-server:

  1. Install it with cargo: sh cargo install ws-markdown-server
  2. Start the server: sh RUST_LOG="ws_markdown_server=debug" \ MD_SERVER_WS_PORT=9003 \ MD_SERVER_TCP_PORT=9004 \ MD_SERVER_HOST="0.0.0.0" \ ws-markdown-server

Testing it works

  1. You can test it works by opening a tcp connection at 0.0.0.0:9004 and sending in some markdown text to be converted to html. For example:

```sh

Start netcat once the markdown server is up and running.

nc 0.0.0.0 9004

Send some markdown text to be converted to html.

Title

This is some text. ... [Ctrl+D] (indicates end of file)

You'll receive the html version of the sent markdown:

Title

This is some text.

...

```

  1. Alternatively, you can also run the sample Svelte app that sets up the client-side Websocket and uses the ws-markdown-server for its backend.

sh cd usage/client npm install npm run dev -- --port 8000 --host 0.0.0.0 --open
