Chat is an OTR, serverless messaging app that provides end-to-end encrypted and completely secure communciation.
How can this be serverless? We use a reverse-proxy service to open up the port to a specific subdomain with localtunnel over the HTTP protocol, and we use websockets to communicate between different IPs.
cp config/config.go.template config/config.go
You also need npm. We use localtunnel to create a reverse proxy to forward requests on a websocket without a central server. Install with:
npm install -g localtunnel
Fill in config/config.go with your mysql database credentials.
go build
./chat
You can set up a pre-commit hook so that the application gofmts your code before committing.
You can also set up a pre-push hook so that the application builds and tests your code before pushing.
Note that the scripts must be executable for the hooks to run.
chmod +x scripts/pre-commit
ln -s -f ../../scripts/pre-commit .git/hooks/pre-commit
chmod +x scripts/pre-push
ln -s -f ../../scripts/pre-push .git/hooks/pre-push
There is a script that generates documentation with godoc for this package.
It can be run with the following script:
chmod +x scripts/generate_docs
./scripts/generate_docs
It starts up a godoc server and downloads the chat package html, css, and js relevant to the package.
If the database schema changes, run chat with the "--reset" or "-r" to re-generate the database. Note that this will drop all data from the production database
./chat -r
