Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

A real liveness-probe for Rocket.Chat

We've seen cases where Rocket.Chat's node process is running, but users could not log in. At the same time, the node process was idling, so it was definitely not a performance issue. Also, requests to /api/v1/info were successful, even logging in via the API was working. Still, as a new session should be created, the client session timed out.

In order to detect situations like these, this repo contains a liveness-check which validates whether users can actually operate the system (e. g. log in and out).

Prerequisites

Since this liveness-probe really wants to log in using a headless browser, you need to provide a user - default liveness, password 1iveness! Make sure this user has got no permissions (or very few, such as "guest").

Headless on Amazon Linux

From this awesome post instructs how to get chrome installed.

Once we've done this, we can configure it to be used later-on.

=> curl https://intoli.com/install-google-chrome.sh | bash

Of course, it's more secure to download / copy the script instead of just piping it to the bash ;)

Installing this package

Until it's not published to npm, for the sake of completeness:

git clone https://github.com/assistify/rocketchat-liveness-check.git
cd rocketchat-liveness-check
npm i

How to run it

ASSISTIFY_USER=liveness ASSISTIFY_PASSWORD=1iveness! SERVER=http://localhost:3000 CHROME=/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable npm run liveness

You can omit the environment variables if you use the default values

Server mode

You can run the program also in server mode, which means, that the Chromium browser keeps running, while sending POST http://localhost:7000/loginTest with parameters server, user and password as payload.
