Issues

There are some issues that need to be solved. Issues when you have two sessions opened at the same time.

Currently how it works is we take their IP address, and their user agent and get there session based on the last activity. A new session is generated if there is not another session active within the last hour.

This causes problems as they could open two windows at the same site. We may need to generate another token , or store that information somewhere in the browser (which a person could change, so we have to be careful).

There is no 100% way to guarantee chat will be safe! We dont really know if that user is the same user as before.

Fonts and CORS

By default fonts are no able to be cross site. To allow this we need to update our nginx config to allow CORS for fonts.

Laravel Valet (https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/valet)

If your using Valet you can modify your nginx file (/usr/local/etc/nginx/valet/valet.conf) , to add a new CORS rule inside of the location config, 41c270e4-5535-4daa-b23e-c269744c2f45, this comes fromm VALET_STATIC_PREFIX.

    location /41c270e4-5535-4daa-b23e-c269744c2f45/ {
        internal;
        alias /;
        ### FONT CORS RULE
        location ~* \.(eot|otf|ttf|woff|woff2)$ {
            add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin *;
        }
        try_files $uri $uri/;
    }

Storing Assets from other local sites

To allow PHP to know how to get assets from other local sites you need to add them to your host file (/etc/hosts).

    ...

    127.0.0.1       localhost
    172.16.222.10   localdev

    127.0.0.1 varie-docs.test

    127.0.0.1 codepier.test
    127.0.0.1 app.codepier.test

    ...

Common Problems

Clashing Recordings / Sessions

When you refresh your database you will may leave left over recordings in redis. You should clear your cache whenever you refresh your database.

php artisan cache:clear
