Deprecated

Replacement: https://github.com/NullVoxPopuli/mesh-relay-phoenix this also means the websocket protocol has changed (it's similar, but slightly different from action cable)

MeshRelay

This is a public relay server for mesh-chat

See these test scripts for how to interact with the relay.

push to new heroku app
add the redis-cloud addon
point your clients at ws://you-heroku-app-name.herokuapp.com?uid=your_users_id

You may use any websocket client as long as it adheres to action_cable message formatting, such as action_cable_client (ruby)

Messages should be sent with the chat command and with a payload of { to: recipient_uid, message: encrypted_data }

client.perform('chat', {
  to: 'user1',
  message: 'hello from user2'
})

Received messages will look like this:

{ message: encrypted_data }

{
  status: 404,
  detail: 'uid....'
  error: 'message about not being found'
}

Note: all the examples are in ruby. All messages sent and received should be JSON formatted.
