How to start

Run with docker

# build binary
CGO_ENABLED=0 GOARCH=386 go build .
# run docker
docker-compose up -d

the command will start backend at http://localhost:3000

you can change the host name and port in docker-compose.yml

Standalone run

• create config.yml with DB access config

server:
  port: ":8040"
  public: "http://localhost:8040"
db:
  path: "./db.sqlite"

above config is for sqlite DB, if you want to use mysql change it like

db:
  host: localhost
  port: 3306
  user: root
  password: 1
  database: files

you need to create the database ( code will init all necessary tables on its own )

• start the backend

go build
./chat

group calls

To organize group calls, service uses livekit library. So, to have this feature you need to deploy the instance of livekit on your infrastructure. It can be done through docker ( check the docker-compose.yml ) or as a standalone software ( check instructions at https://livekit.io )

Other ways of configuration

Configuration can be done through config.yml file or through env vars For example of env usage, check docker-compose.yml
