# rechat

Very simple demo chat app using Websockets and Redis PubSub

## Build

```

git clone https://github.com/aburdulescu/rechat.git

cd rechat

go build

```

## Usage

- install and then start Redis:

For example, on Debian:

```

sudo apt install redis

sudo systemctl start redis-server.service

```

- start `rechat` server:

```

cd rechat

./rechat

```

- open the address "http://localhost:8080" in a couple of browser tabs,

write messages in each and you should see them propagate to each tab

- the chat is scalable, meaning that you can start 2(or more) `rechat` instances and 

connect different clients to each and you will still be able to communicate

between the clients connected to the two different instances
