This is a simple chat tool to get into the Go programming language while also learning something about the ZeroMQ security features. Kudos to https://github.com/jnthnwn/zmq-chat for this simple python version.
This is under development and not finished, yet. That means you cannot chat right now, but there are some dummy clients. Next:
- Add encryption
- Split client and server commnd
- Add simple user interface
- Send/show user list
- Allow users to register names.
This is one of my first Go programs. Feel free to contribute or send me some hints to improve the program.
$ go get github.com/szma/go-zmq-chatIf the $GOPATH/bin folder is in your $PATH run
$ go-zmq-chat server # add -g to generate new certificates.
$ # clients need to have the correct server_cert.pub!
$ go-zmq-chat client --username mike --url 192.168.12.23 # IP of your server
