# Go Chatty
> [!WARNING]
> This project is not production-ready, but contributions still are welcome.
## Requirements
- Go >=1.25
- Docker
- Node & NPM
- Make
## Local development
Install dependencies:
```sh
npm install # install frontend dependencies
npm run build # build React + Tailwind static assets once
npm run dev # run Vite dev server (optional)
go run ./cmd/main.go # run the Go server against built static files
# Or use the existing Make target for the Go app
make run
```
Set `APP_WEBSOCKET_URL` before building the frontend. It is required and must be a full websocket URL including protocol, for example `ws://localhost:8080/ws`.
## Setup for Production environment
The production image builds frontend assets, compiles the Go binary in a separate stage, and ships only the binary plus static assets in a minimal `scratch` runtime image.
Build the image:
```sh
docker build -t gochatty .
```
Run the container:
```sh
docker run --rm -p 8080:8080 \
-e APP_PORT=8080 \
-e APP_WEBSOCKET_URL=wss://0.0.0.0:8080/ws \
-e APP_ALLOWED_ORIGINS=http://0.0.0.0:8080 \
-e APP_ENV=production \
gochatty
```
Then access `http://0.0.0.0:8080`.
## Notes
- The production image runs as a non-root user.
- `APP_ALLOWED_ORIGINS` must include the browser origin that will open the websocket connection.
- `APP_WEBSOCKET_URL` is required for the frontend build and must be a full websocket URL, for example `ws://localhost:8080/ws` or `wss://chat.example.com/ws`.
- The current root `Dockerfile` is intended for production-style builds and deployment.
