To run a dev Electron

1. Install Yarn Globally
2. chat4gamers/packages -> yarn install
3. chat4gamers/server -> yarn install -> yarn dev
4. chat4gamers/apps/next -> yarn install -> yarn dev + yarn electron

You have a local server, local react and local next backend running.

The flow:

1. User creates an Identity-File with a password. This file contains the user's private key
2. The user can then use this Identity-File to log in to the application. The private key is used to authenticate the user and to encrypt/decrypt messages.
3. User must add Address to server to be able to connect to server
   • If the user joins via server-address, the user is in a lobby state for said server-host.
   • If the user joins via invite-link, the user automatically joins the lobby of the server-host.
4. Users are able to chat with each other in the server
   • Alongside voice chat.
   • There will be roles and permissions to manage the server.
     • Upon first deployment of the server, a password will be generated. This password is used to create the first admin account.

User is trying to login to a new device:

1. The Identity-File must be available and transferred to the new device.
2. The user must import the Identity-File and enter the password to access their account.
   • The Identity-File also stores the user's server addresses and other settings, so the user can easily access their servers without having to re-enter the information.
