A front-end-only stream overlay that represents your chat as animated sprites.
Visit https://haliphax.github.io/hxavatars to either build an overlay URL for yourself or to view a demonstration (with no chat integration and a fixed background color).
The following commands are available from the overlay's chat integration, with more to come:
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
!avatar <value> |
Sets the user's avatar (if the value exists) |
If you have a web server of your own, you will need to serve the contents of
the html folder. That's it!
You can also host it yourself by using docker-compose. It will spin up an
instance of the Traefik load balancer (for managing hostname association
and HTTPS certificates) and the nginx web server (for serving the files).
By default, it will be available at https://localhost.
docker-compose upIf you are running the system with docker on WSL, it is likely that you will
not be able to use localhost as the hostname for the web application. In this
case, add a hosts file mapping for avatars.localdomain to the WSL system's
address. (Use ip addr and check the output for eth0 in most cases.) Copy
the wsl.yml file to a new docker-compose.override.yml file. This file will
be automatically merged with the base configuration at runtime.
cp wsl.yml docker-compose.override.yml
docker-compose upYou may craft an override file with a different hostname if you just want to
use something other than localhost, of course; you don't have to be using WSL
to take advantage of this.
