A project I’m working on currently requires me to build a server side agent daemon.
Due to the nature of the agent, a live connection requires to be open to the
managing node server, using websockets. PHP is not very well suited to this kind
of workload, so the obvious choice was to develop it using NodeJS. I will build
a Docker image containing the application, as well as provide a standalone binary
for people who don’t have Docker, but also don’t want the hassle of installing NodeJS.
