Go Server-Peer Basic Setup

A minimal implementation of a TCP server with peer connection handling in Go. This project demonstrates the foundational structure for building more advanced peer-to-peer or client-server applications.

Features

• TCP server with configurable listen address
• Basic peer connection management
• Message handling loop
• Concurrent connection handling
• Structured logging with slog

Code Overview

Peer Implementation (peer.go)

The Peer struct represents a connected client/peer with:

• Network connection (net.Conn)
• Message channel for communication
• readLoop() method for continuous message reading

Server Implementation (main.go)

The Server struct includes:

• Configuration management
• Peer tracking with a map
• Channel-based communication for:
  • New peer connections
  • Quit signals
  • Message passing
• Main server loop for handling messages and connections
