Elite Dangerous has an in-game wing limit of 4 players on the same platform, version and same game mode.
A virtual wing allows players to see a live status of more players which are not part of their in-game wing.
This targets squadrons and other groups which regularly exceed the 4 player limit but still want to participate in activities together.

A public (beta stage) instance is available on virtual-wing.edct.dev

Feel free to host your own instance. The application runs on both Windows and Linux. More information will follow here about how to host this on your own.

EDVW__ConnectionString: MariaDB instance connection string.
EDVW__HttpOrigin: Allowed origin for CORS and the WebSocket client.
EDVW__FDevClientId: FDev OAuth2 Client ID. Request here: user.frontierstore.net/developer
EDVW__FDevAuthReturnUrl: Return from FDev OAuth2

The application is built to use a MariaDB instance to store its data. For development and testing purposes, run a local MariaDB instance using Docker, e.g.
docker run --detach --name edvw-mariadb --env MARIADB_USER=dev --env MARIADB_PASSWORD=1234 --env MARIADB_ROOT_PASSWORD=1234 -p 3306:3306 mariadb:latest
