Cherry
is a webchat engine
wrote in Golang
. It brings the main functionalities that you need in a webchat server.
With this application you are able to serve a bunch of rooms from your machine just editing a configuration file in a specific language. So if you are interested you should read the documentation to learn how to master it.
Now SSL connections
are supported.
You can use the standard go build
or you can use Hefesto.
You need to setup your GOPATH
to the project root. Supposing that cherry repo was cloned under /home/doctor/web/git-hub/rafael-santiago/cherry
just add this path to your GOPATH
.
Run go build
from inside the src
subdirectory.
After following all steps to put Hefesto to work on your system just move to src
subdirectory and invoke Hefesto
from
inside. Something like:
doctor@TARDIS:~/web/git-hub/rafael-santiago/cherry/src# hefesto
If all worked a cherry binary was created under ../bin/
and
All done.
Here you do not need to worry about GOPATH
issues because Hefesto's script handles it for you on each build task that you invoke (if needed).
This application works based on a configuration file (again: documentation).
You specify this configuration using the option --config
:
doctor@TARDIS:~/web/git-hub/rafael-santiago/cherry/bin# ./cherry --config=gallifrey-lounge.cherry
Supposing that TARDIS
has the IP
address 192.30.70.3
and Gallifrey lounge
opens only one room at the port 1008.
Doctor should access the entrace form served at:
http://192.30.70.3:1008/join
That's all.
