Successor to typeto.me

typeto.me 2

typeto.me 2 is a character-level realtime chat, like the old talk program on Unix and Unix-like operating systems.

This is a rewrite of an earlier version by Derek Arnold.

• some nostalgic crt bling.
• built with deno, cre, and a font.
• no other deps required

try it out!

building as a binary

DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build --target binaries --output bin -f builder.dockerfile .

then you can run it like: ./bin/type from the root of this repo. it needs the files in ./gui to work

build and run as docker container

note: rooms.json is used to persist chat history/room state. rooms are deleted entirely from memory and disk after 12 hours with no sockets connected

touch rooms.json   # prevent Docker from creating a directory if not present
docker compose up -d

dev

install deno like this:

curl -fsSL https://deno.land/x/install/install.sh | sh -s v1.9.2

then

deno run --allow-read --allow-write --watch -A --no-check server/index.mjs

if you change the gui code you need to refresh the browser tab

but it gives you live-dev with the ts type checking off for the backend code.

proxying with apache2

Here is an example SSL reverse proxy configuration:

<VirtualHost *:443>
    ServerName typeto.me

    ProxyPass "/ws" "ws://127.0.0.1:8090/ws"
    ProxyPassReverse "/ws" "ws://127.0.0.1:8090/ws"
    ProxyPass "/"  "http://127.0.0.1:8090/"
    ProxyPassReverse  "/" "http://127.0.0.1:8090/"

    Include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-apache.conf
    SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/typeto.me/fullchain.pem
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/typeto.me/privkey.pem
</VirtualHost>
