Zoff

Zoff (pronounced søff) is a shared (free) YouTube based radio service, built upon the YouTube API, with integrated casting with Chromecast.

Install

Prerequisites:

MongoDB : https://www.mongodb.org/
NodeJS  : https://nodejs.org/en/
npm     : https://www.npmjs.com/

Clone this repository into a folder, and navigate to it. Use $ npm install in the project folder.

For the server to run, you have to have the files

api_key.js
mongo_config.js

in /server/config. There are *.example.js files for all the ones mentioned above. If you're going to deploy the server with a certificate, you also need to create the cert_config.js in /server/config/. If you want the mailing to work, take a look at mailconfig.example.js and recaptcha.example.js. You'll need mailconfig.js and recaptcha.js for this to work.

If you want to use Google Analytics, have a look at analytics.example.js in server/config/.

If you have run the server before the table-structures where added, please run node server/apps/rewrite.js. This will fix any crashes that occurs because of faulty document-collectionnames due to moving channel-settings to a separate collection.

Use $ npm start to start the server. (Alternative you can use the pm2.json in the project-root, if you prefer pm2 for running the apps.)

About

Zoff is mainly a webbased service. The website uses NodeJS with Socket.IO, MongoDB and express on the backend, with JavaScript, jQuery and Materialize on the frontend.

The team consists of Kasper Rynning-Tønnesen and Nicolas Almagro Tonne, and the project has been worked on since late 2014.
