LAN database support

Open amenk opened this issue 8 years ago • 5 comments

Currently a firebase cloud database is needed.

Use case:

Support grilling hut "Grillhütte" parties where no internet connection is available.

The question is, if an other, self-hostable Firebase alternative can be used.

This is way ahead of our current scope. We will leave this here, but don't expect this to be considered in less than 6-8 months.

Maybe https://www.webcomponents.org/element/PolymerElements/app-pouchdb & https://pouchdb.com/ could work ...

Sure. That looks awesome. There are also things like RethinkDB.

I encourage you to try it out and surprise us with a pull-request if you implemented it 💪

Do you have a clue if https://www.npmjs.com/package/firebase-server supports writing?

We have never tried that library, I didn't even know it existed tbh. :D Seems to be half-official though: https://firebase.googleblog.com/2015/04/end-to-end-testing-with-firebase-server_16.html. Why don't you just go ahead and try connecting Festify to one of these DBs? :)
