Create DDP Server using Node.js

Question

Due to restrictions on node.js versions, recent versions of Meteor cannot be used on the system. A DDP server has to be created using regular node.js instead, which a Meteor setup will connect to.

DDP client can be created in node.js using node-ddp-client, but how can we create a DDP server?

I'm curious - do you have any new informations on this? I look into ways to implement a reactive datasource that is not a mongodb or another database. — Jakob Hohlfeld, Jun 11 '15 at 16:48
What restrictions? I'm interested as I've just started learning meteor — Zach Smith, Jan 19 '16 at 05:44

It might be too late to answer this and this might not be a good answer anyway. It's not an easy task, we need to manage sessions, users, methods, publications... As a reference for a brave developer :)

We need EJSON or some other implementation to serialize and deserialize messages between client and server.
We need a socket server (sockjs would be a good choice since meteor is using it too.)
We need to implement DDP specification

Thanks for your input! Guess we can wait for someone awesome to write an npm package for it – Nyxynyx Dec 07 '14 at 01:48

I've found https://www.npmjs.com/package/ddp-server-reactive and https://www.npmjs.com/package/ddp-server which both seem to do the job
