Jan Poka

A device for bringing your distant friends a little nearer.

Set up

Use docker to run anywhere:

docker run --env-file .env --network host ghcr.io/jphastings/jan-poka:latest

NB. You must run attached to the host network, as this service uses Bonjour service discovery, so needs to know its network-visible IP address.

(Assuming that you have appropriate environment variables in a file called .env)
