Watch Anything Together

Watch anything Together is a simple service that allows you to watch video files in sync with a group of people across any distance.

Usage

Configure

In order to use this app you will need to create an application in Discords developer portal

Copy the example config file and change values as neccessary.

Setup the server

In order to set up this app we will need a directory on our machine with the media we want to serve. This guide will assume that there is a ./media folder with mp4 video content.

# before we can use we must build the image
docker build -t wat:latest .
docker run -it -p 8080 -v ./media:/media -v ./config/configFile.yaml:/etc/wat/config.yaml wat:latest

Check that media can be served

Open http://localhost:8080/media/<Name of some video file including .mp4 suffix>

If that opens a video player things should be working

Open the Client

Open http://locahost:8080/
