ASCR Server & Client

A chatroom client-server application written entierly in TCP sockets, curses and ruby!

Protocol Documentation

Server available at: server.141.lv:8056

Requirements

1. Ruby 3.1.x. I reccomend using rbenv as your version manager (due to IO::Buffer)
2. The following gems

gem install curses gem install lmdb 

Usage

To start the server it's trivial ruby main.rb. It'll create two folders created config and database_server. Both of these should probably be dockerized and put into a volume (if you're doing that.)

Starting the client however is slightly harder, you have to use something like ruby main.rb -h localhost -p 8080. h being host, p being port.

Docker Compose

Use the docker compose file inside of server/docker-compose.yml. Github actions automatically does docker image building.

Monorepo

This is a monorepo, meaning there's both the server and the client in one repo. This allows me to do funky stuff such as having shared files inside of a folder which both use

Ideas (this is not a todo)

1. Client in non-interactive mode that spits out something json something like {type: "authenicated", token: "token"} and {type: "message", message: "129358: hi"}
