A little buzzer app for running your own quizzes or game shows! Uses websockets to sent messages.
You'll need Node.js or Docker to run this application. For Node:
npm install
node index.js
For Docker:
docker build -t buzzer .
docker run -p 8090:8090 buzzer
Open http://localhost:8090 in your browser to start!
The players goto the homepage (http://localhost:8090/
) and they can enter their name and team
number. Joining will give them a giant buzzer button!
The host heads over to /host
and will be able to see everyone that buzzes in and clear the list
in between questions.

Starting this article from Building the Docker Image helped: https://towardsdatascience.com/how-to-deploy-docker-containers-to-the-cloud-b4d89b2c6c31
docker build -t [image name] .
- Here, the Docker image build command is docker build
- Next, we use the -t flag to specify our image name
- Finally, we tell Docker to include everything from the current directory with .
install gcloud sdk: https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/downloads-interactive
log into gcloud
gcloud auth login
gcloud might ask you to use your previous credentials... just say yeah, you can create a new project
configure docker to use our gcloud auth
gcloud auth configure-docker
set project you're using
gcloud config set project [project-name]
make sure cloud container registry is available in google cloud, then submit image to cloud build
gcloud builds submit --tag gcr.io/[PROJECT-ID]/gcp-api
manually create a Cloud Run on google cloud console. take note that the port number is 8090, not 8080.
