1. Locate the configuration file found in the installation directory.
2. Open it with a text editor.
3. Change the port number as needed and save the file.

Connecting Your Client

To connect your client application to the orbitcast server:

• Use the WebSocket URL usually structured as ws://localhost:3000/cable.
• Ensure your client application is set up for real-time communication.

📋 Using orbitcast

Sending Messages

To send messages through the server, use your preferred client library that supports ActionCable. Common libraries for JavaScript and Ruby exist for this purpose.

Receiving Messages

Your client should subscribe to the desired channel to receive messages. Check your library’s documentation for detailed instructions.

Monitoring Performance

Keep an eye on the server’s performance metrics through the built-in logging feature. This helps you identify any issues or bottlenecks in your communication flow.

❓ Troubleshooting

Common Issues

• Server Not Starting: Check if the port is already in use. Change the port in the configuration file if necessary.
• Connection Failures: Verify your WebSocket URL and ensure that the server is running.
