Group Chat - Go
This is the Golang implementation of the Group Chat project. The goal of this implementation is to create a simple CLI chat application, adhering to the defined features and functionality.
Usage
Server
The server is a simple WebSocket server that accepts connections from clients and broadcasts messages to all connected clients. The server is started by running the following` command:
go run server/main.go
The server can be configured using the following environment variables:
| Variable | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
PORT |
The port to listen on | 8080 |
Client
The client is a simple CLI application that connects to the server and allows the user to send and receive messages. The client is started by running the following command:
go run client/main.go
The client can be configured using the following environment variables:
| Variable | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
SERVER |
The server to connect to | ws://localhost:8080 |
Docker
The server and client can be run using Docker. The following commands can be used to build the server and client:
docker build -t group-chat-go-server -f build/server.Dockerfile .
docker build -t group-chat-go-client -f build/client.Dockerfile .
Before running the server and client, a Docker network must be created:
docker network create group-chat-go
The server and client can then be run using the following commands:
docker run -d --name group-chat-go-server --network group-chat-go -p 8080:8080 group-chat-go-server
docker run --name group-chat-go-client --network group-chat-go -it group-chat-go-client
Multiple clients can be run at the same time.
