This charm provides deployment for Dashing.

Usage

First of all deploy default dashing with 

juju deploy dashing

Dashing needs to be exposed on the Internet. Thus you also need to run 

juju expose dashing

You can then browse to http://exposed-ip-address:3030 to configure the service.

Scale out Usage

To be done. This will require a HAProxy instance.

Known Limitations and Issues

First charm hence a lot of work to make it good...

Configuration

Pay attention to the default port 3030.
