• Node.js (for frontend)

Installation

1. Install Protocol Buffers compiler (protoc):

   # macOS
   brew install protobuf
   
   # Linux
   apt-get install protobuf-compiler

2. Install Go protocol buffer plugins:

   go install google.golang.org/protobuf/cmd/protoc-gen-go@latest
   go install google.golang.org/grpc/cmd/protoc-gen-go-grpc@latest

3. Install project dependencies:

   cd backend-server
   go mod tidy

Build Instructions

1. Generate Protocol Buffer code:

   cd backend-server
   protoc --go_out=. --go-grpc_out=. --go_opt=paths=source_relative --go-grpc_opt=paths=source_relative proto/daemon.proto

2. Build the backend server:

   cd backend-server
   go build

3. Run the server:

   ./backend-server

Configuration

The backend server configuration is stored in backend.yaml. Example configuration:

servers:
  - name: "daemon1"
    address: "localhost:50051"
  - name: "daemon2"
    address: "localhost:50052"
