ChatServer

A cluster-based chat server and client code that utilizes Nginx for load balancing and Redis as a message middleware. The software is designed with a layered architecture and is built using the muduo network library, MySQL, and CMake.

Features:

• User registration, login, and logout
• Real-time chat and offline message delivery
• Creation and joining of chat groups
• Group chat functionality

Environment

1. muduo network library
2. MySQL database
3. Nginx (TCP module)
4. Redis
5. CMake

Add the following configuration to nginx.conf in order to expose port 8000 and load balance requests between 127.0.0.1:6000 and 127.0.0.1:6002 using a round-robin algorithm:

#ngix tcp loadbalance config
stream{
    upstream MyServer{
        server 127.0.0.1:6000 weight=1 max_fails=3 fail_timeout=30s;
        server 127.0.0.1:6002 weight=1 max_fails=3 fail_timeout=30s;
    }

    server{
        proxy_connect_timeout 1s;
        listen 8000;
        proxy_pass MyServer;
        tcp_nodelay on;
    }
}

Compilation

Simply run ./autoCompile.sh to compile the project.

Running

Navigate to the /bin directory:

• To run the server: ./ChatServer 127.0.0.1 port (replace port with the desired port number)
• To run the client: ./ChatClient IP 8000 (replace IP with the server's IP address)
