BlackPipe uses sockets to stream data to the web page. By default, it uses a server hosted at https://blackpipe.glitch.me/. BlackPipe allows you to pre define the session name using --session params.

Parallel Output

If you want to output things to the stdout same time, use -o switch.

tree | blackpipe -o

Self hosted server

You can setup a blackpipe server your own if you want to. The source for blackpipe-server is available at github. To use your own server, use --host params to override default server.
