npm i
npm run dev
install wscat globally npm i -g wscat
then call it in terminal to connect a websocket to this server wscat -c ws://localhost:8080
Build a docker image
docker build --tag bb_image_socket .
(the tag be whatever but it's good to have a descriptive tag)
Find the docker image with
docker images and identify the image name
Test it locally with docker run -p 8080:8080 [image name]
-p opens up the ports for the local system
Then create an artifact repository in Google Cloud for this. You can do this from the console.
Then upload the docker image to the artifact:
gcloud builds submit --region=us-central1 --tag us-central1-docker.pkg.dev/[project name]/[repository name]/[desired name for you image]:[tag]
E.g.
gcloud builds submit --region=us-central1 --tag us-central1-docker.pkg.dev/bitsandbots/bits-and-bots-socket/socket-image:latest
Finally, deploy to Google Cloud Run. You can also do this from Google Cloud Console. Find the image in the artifact repository.
Run ws cat against the cloud run service
wscat -c wss://[application path]
e.g.
wscat -c wss://socket-image-lkjcclx3ma-uc.a.run.app
