OpenChat is a fully featured chat application running end-to-end on the Internet Computer blockchain.

Testing locally

You must have DFX version 0.12.0-beta.3 installed DFX_VERSION=0.12.0-beta.3 sh -ci "$(curl -fsSL https://sdk.dfinity.org/install.sh)"

Start dfx using dfx start

To install all the necessary canisters (OpenChat, OpenStorage and NNS) run ./scripts/deploy-local.sh

To run the website run npm --prefix frontend run dev

To upgrade a canister run ./scripts/upgrade-canister-local.sh <DFX_IDENTITY_NAME> <CANISTER_NAME> <VERSION> (eg. ./scripts/upgrade-canister-local.sh default user 1.0.0)

Deterministic builds

We need builds to be deterministic so that code running inside a canister can be verified by comparing the wasm hash locally with the wasm hash exposed by the IC.

You can build the OpenChat canister wasms by running ./scripts/docker-build.sh
