micro-go-chat

Sample project to play with go, websockets, CI and Docker

Usual way to run a go thing:

go get github.com/aveius/micro-go-chat
go build github.com/aveius/micro-go-chat
go run github.com/aveius/micro-go-chat

After that, open a couple browser windows on http://127.0.0.1:8080/, and you're off!

A local postgre instance can be used to add some persistency to this. To leverage it, just configure PG_CONN_URL – see the "Connection String Parameters" in pq's documentation. For instance:

postgres://USER:PASSWORD@127.0.0.1:5432/?sslmode=disable

By default, access is limited to 127.0.0.1 (/!\ No X-Forwarded checks); if deploying to a remote server, put your connecting IP in the ENVVAR WHITELISTED_IP.

Docker packaging and run

After checking out the project:

make build
sudo make docker

And the usual to spin it up:

docker run -p 8080:8080 -it -e "WHITELISTED_IP=172.17.0.1" -e "PG_CONN_URL=postgres://..." micro-go-chat

Status

• websockets
• Persistency with postgre
• Docker deployment
• CI/CD
