Forky is a collaborative visualization tool. I'm hosting it at http://forky.io. It goes up and down as there are only a handful of users.

You can run a Forky Server in the cloud, on your pc, or on 'hackable' hardware, and possibly elsewhere.

• A Mongo Database
• A Rethink Database
• A system with node.js

Personally, I use docker for mongo and rethinkdb as it requires the zero configuration, and keeps my mind free from database horrors. I just run it on Ubuntu because it's most familiar to me.

npm install # you will need linux building tools I think

This is the preferred method for local deployments for development, or for running it as a hard app.

vim config/default.js # it is self explanitory

This method is preferred for server deployments, and overrides the settings in the config file. This will override the config file options.

cat config/custom-environment-variables.js # prints vars involved

# and to run you would do something like
export FORKY_PORT=8080

 $ node index.js
