Chat Server-Client

Run in Docker

docker-compose build
docker-compose up

To connect to the docker instances and run the applications:

docker exec -it server /app/server
docker exec -it client1 /app/client
docker exec -it client2 /app/client
docker exec -it client3 /app/client

Then you can chat from there. If the server is taken offline the connected clients will attempt to reconnect every 5 seconds for a minute before exiting themselves.

If you'd like to inspect the chat-logs:

docker exec -it server /bin/sh
cat server_log.txt

Run locally

If you'd rather run locally

cd server # or client
go run main.go

OR

cd server # or client
go build
./server # or client
