any idea what went wrong? Or what is missing?
hm yeah I think that code comes from a pull request that was done before the Andrew updated the ws dependency version. try to get the commit before last and see if that works
works with https://github.com/AndrewBelt/hack.chat/commit/5ca90f990cacbb7c7ac7c6156929baabb5a3121c
git checkout 5ca90f990cacbb7c7ac7c6156929baabb5a3121c
ping @marzavec
I tried it with every commit. I enter the username and it stays blank and when i send a text message, it says Server Disconnected error with the socket flush error in the terminal.

I tried every commit, including the latest commit. It doesn't work. What to do?
The npm error log file says:

@princenasario Cd into the directory where you have the server software, run the command:
npm list ws
If the output of npm is different than [email protected] then you need to remove ws and install version 1.1.1
However, that version of ws is old and slow (not to mention vulnerable to an upgrade header attack). The best recommendation I have is to not use the legacy version and instead use:
https://github.com/hack-chat/main
This is the current software running on https://hack.chat/, it uses version 5.0.0 of the ws library and has been proven stable with over 400 connections.
