This refactors the broadcaster to use a more modern version of Redis and a compatible 0.9x version of socket.io that supports the latest Node v19 + Node v18 LTS. The ancient version of socket.io remains to retain compatibility with the current tracker webpage.

Hiredis has been removed due to changes in the Redis library. https://github.com/redis/node-redis/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md

  • "The parser option is deprecated and should be removed. The built-in Javascript parser is a lot faster than the hiredis parser and has more features"
  • "Dropped support for hiredis (no longer required)"

A bare minimum of testing has been completed by relaying existing tracker events to this server via a pipe and pointing my web browser at localhost.
