Pulled these out of here to get a quick and easy to deploy chat and file upload app for use in small communities and temporary locations like workshops and conferences.
No dependencies - if there's python, these will run!
There's minimal config available without hacking on droopy.py, but what there is is in start-pirate-chat.sh. You should be able to unpack and run!
Start with start-pirate-chat.sh, stop with stop-pirate-chat.sh . Obviously run both while cd = this directory
I had problems running and viewing on localhost and other hosts on local network, worked fine on dedicated server w/ public domain name.
There may or may not be an example running online here: http://s-1.com:8003/
