Ping Clock Web

Web version of the Ping Clock I saw on Hackaday. This shows the current ping on a logaritmic scale on a clock.

This project is divided in two parts.

1. Pinger: A server program that pings a specified host.
2. Display: A web client that displays the pinged results on a clock display.

They communicate with eachother with websockets.

Check their respective readme files for more info:

• Pinger
• Display

Hosting

There is a docker-compose.yml included which loads its settings from the .env file. Copy .env.example to see all values used.

• DISPLAY_PORT: Port on which the webclient is accessible.
• SERVER_PORT: Port on which the pinger websocket runs.

TODO

• Add text labels to the clock
• Dark mode version
• Make a web-only version that can be hosted, but a suitable alternative to ping that runs in the browser must be chosen first.
