NOTICE

This project is in an early alpha stage. It will be improved continously. Have a look at the Roadmap for upcoming features.

Quickstart

If you just want to run your own socomap server you need an installed Docker.

Download this docker-compose.yml file and run it:

curl -o docker-compose.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/infotech-gmbh/socomap-samples/master/samples/server/docker-compose.yml
docker-compose up

The data is stored in a named docker volume called socomap.

Introduction

Socomap is designed to enable a point to point data transfer. The receiver have to register an inbox on a socomap server. The sender dont have to be registered anywhere and can send messages to each inboxes. The protocol is designed to have a reliable data transfer, where the sender is informed when the receiver got the message (confirmed by receiver).

The transferred messages can completely be specified by the user agents and can contain binary data.

Example clients can be found here
